Exoterra Reptile UVB 100 loisteputkilamppu 25W E27

A compact fluorescent bulb for terrariums, 25 W, E27 cap. Intended for tropical and subtropical reptiles.

The UVB100 provides the UVB level of a shaded environment: in the wild, reptiles of rainforests and other tropical regions receive a moderate UV dose because high humidity and weather conditions stop unfiltered sunlight from reaching the basking site.

It is effective up to 40 cm.

UVB radiation lets the skin form vitamin D3, and D3 makes calcium absorption possible. Sufficient UVB prevents metabolic bone disease. UVA radiation stimulates appetite, activity and reproductive behaviour.

A UVB bulb emits little visible light, so combine it with a daylight bulb (Natural Light or Reptile Vision).

Replace the bulb yearly. The light and UV output of a compact fluorescent bulb decline over time even though the bulb still lights normally – which is exactly why replacing a UV bulb is easy to forget and the animal ends up without radiation.

The product is intended for keeping reptiles, amphibians and invertebrates only.
