FAQs
What does UVB do for reptiles?
UVB light allows reptiles to synthesize Vitamin D3 in their skin, which is essential for absorbing calcium from their food. Without adequate UVB exposure, captive reptiles can develop debilitating health conditions such as Metabolic Bone Disease.
What species of reptile is this 5.0 UVB lamp designed for?
This 5.0 UVB lamp is specifically formulated for tropical and forest-dwelling reptile species. This includes popular pets such as chameleons, iguanas, day geckos, and crested geckos that live under dense forest canopies.
How often should this High Output T5 bulb be replaced?
While the bulb may continue to emit visible light for a long time, the beneficial UVB output degrades over time. It is highly recommended to replace this fluorescent lamp every ten to twelve months for optimal reptile health.
