The award winning, industry standard, UVB lamp for reptiles. A full 5% UVB output allows vitamin D3 synthesis to occur naturally, preventing or reversing MBD and other health problems. The ReptiSun 5.0 is effective for UVB induced photo conversion of vitamin D3 in reptiles skin at distances up to 12". Accept no substitutes; get the original reptile UVB lamp - Zoo Meds ReptiSun 5.0!
High quality bulbs made in Germany.
Testimonial:
"Recently, the zoos reptile keepers ran some tests in order to measure the UVB output of fluorescent lamps (bulbs) used in some of the exhibits and holding cages... Using a UVB meter, the staff found that the Zoo Med ReptiSun 10.0 High Output UVB Lamp provided high levels of UVB, with the Zoo Med ReptiSun 5.0 UVB Lamp being valuable in some situations as well.
The Staten Island Zoo currently uses the Zoo Med 10.0 High Output UVB Lamp with a number of lizards, including such sensitive species as the crevice spiny swift (Sceloporus poinsetti) and the Texas horned lizard (Phrynosoma cornutum)."

The Exo Terra Natural Light is a full spectrum daylight bulb, recommended as general light source for all terrarium types. As a result of the vivid wavelengths of light provided by the Natural Light, reptiles will experience and perceive colours from their environment more naturally. The Exo Terra Natural Light will help to improve the living conditions and physiological wellbeing of your reptiles.
The specific wavelengths make this bulb suitable for planted terrariums and for animals with lower UV requirements, such as snakes, amphibians (frogs, toads and salamanders) and nocturnal animals. Combine this full spectrum daylight bulb with Exo Terra's Reptile UVB100, Reptile UVB150 or Reptile UVB200 (depending on the reptile's UV requirements) to intensify natural sunlight conditions.
The longer sizes can be placed on multiple terrariums.

The Exo Terra Repti Glo 2.0 is a general light source with a high visual light output and a very high colour rendering index (CRI), but a lower UVB radiation. This bulb is suitable for snakes, all amphibians (frogs, toads and salamanders) and nocturnal animals. Plants will thrive under this light as well. It is also a perfect complementary light to a UVB bulb to boost visual light.

The Exo Terra Reptile UVB100 emits optimal levels of UVB, similar to that of shady environments such as rain forests or other tropical locations. Reptiles living in these habitats receive moderate UV radiation due to climatological conditions (fairly high humidity, changes in weather, etc) that prevent unfiltered sunlight from reaching the reptile?s basking site. The optimal Vitamin D3 yield index ensures vitamin D3 photosynthesis to aid calcium absorption and prevent metabolic diseases. The longer sizes can be placed on multiple terrariums.
The packaging includes all necessary information: Full Spectral Graph, UV Spectral Graph, Reptile Bulb Rating System and distance related information like: UVB output - Photosynthesis - Ferguson Zones and Exo Terra Reptile UVB Chart.

The Exo Terra Repti Glo 5.0 has a moderate to high UVB output, similar to that of shady environments such as rain forests and other tropical locations. Reptiles living in these habitats receive less UV radiation because of the many climatological conditions (fairly high humidity, changes in weather, etc) that prevent direct sunlight from reaching them or their basking sites.

T8 UV Light Tubes
T8 UV light tubes are one of the most effective ways to introduce UVA and UVB to a reptile enclosure. UV is essential in reptile care for nearly all diurnal species. Much in the same way humans can get rickets from being inside too much reptiles can also gain deficiencies. When reptiles are lacking in vitamin D they cannot synthesis the calcium in their diet. Their bones weaken and they develop what is known as metabolic bone disease.
UV stimulates the production of vitamin D in reptiles ensuring they can make full use of the calcium in their diet and they do not develop this disease. T8 UV tubes disperse UVB with a range of up to 12 inches and will disperse this essential UV for 6 months before needing to be replaced.
When choosing your UV tube you need to consider what animal it is for and which size you need. As a general rule we would say you want the longest tube you can fit along the back wall. Desert and plains species will want a 10-12% UV while jungle dwelling species may only need a 5-6% UV. If you are unsure on which item to get please call 01604753823.
