Exo Terra Reptile UVB200

Exo Terra Reptile UVB200

(Use only if your enclosure is very tall or have a dense screen top)
Description:
The Exo Terra Reptile UVB200 emits the ideal UVB spectrum for optimal Vitamin D3 photosynthesis. The Reptile UVB200 Bulb is especially designed to simulate conditions for reptiles with very high UV requirements, like diurnal reptiles from desert environments. These areas receive direct unfiltered sunlight with high levels of UVB. The significantly high Vitamin D3 yield index results in increased vitamin D3 photosynthesis to aid calcium absorption and prevent metabolic diseases. The extended UVB penetration makes this bulb the ideal choice for taller terrariums or terrariums with denser screens.

These bulbs also produces UVA which plays a vital row in how reptiles and amphibians view their environment. They do not produce as much heat compared to Exo Terra Solar Glo and this makes it particularly suitable for animals that do not require that much of heat to thermo-regulate.

Features:
- For reptiles with very high UV requirements
- Helps prevent metabolic bone disease
- Ideal for desert set-ups or taller terrariums
- Very high D3 Yield Index
- Increased Vitamin D3 photosynthesis
- Maximizes calcium absorption
- Enhanced UVB penetration distance
- Combine with Natural Light or Reptile Vision for optimal visual light output

Suitable for:
Reptiles (Most Diurnal Reptiles)
- Bearded Dragon (Requires intense UVA, UVB & Heat) [Can Consider Exo Terra UVB150 / Exo Terra Solar Glo]

- Blue Tongued Skinks (Requires intense UVA, UVB & Heat) [Can Consider Exo Terra UVB150 / Exo Terra Solar Glo]

- Tegus (Requires intense UVA, UVB & Heat) [Can Consider Exo Terra UVB150 / Exo Terra Solar Glo]

- Tortoises (Requires intense UVA, UVB & Heat) [Can Consider Exo Terra UVB150 / Exo Terra Solar Glo]

- Turtles (Requires intense UVA, UVB & Heat) [Can Consider Exo Terra UVB150 / Exo Terra Solar Glo]

* These reptiles generally do not need UVB lighting to survive. Most of them are nocturnal species and do not come out and about in the day that helps them to absorb all the UV ray goodness. Or that some can suffice with Calcium & Vitamin D3 supplements. However, studies have shown that UVA & UVB light have proven itself to improve any reptile's health. They help to boost their immune system, health and overall wellness of the reptile. All you have to do is to place the Exo Terra Reptile UVB bulb at the hot spot (heat mat) area so that they receive all that light goodness when they are thermo-regulating.
