Exo Terra Reptile UVB100 – 26 Watt

The Exo Terra Reptile UVB100 is a lighting product designed for reptiles that require UVB radiation for their health. Here are some key features and information about this product:

UVB Emission: The Exo Terra Reptile UVB100 emits UVB at levels similar to what reptiles would encounter in shady environments, such as rainforests or tropical locations. In these habitats, reptiles receive moderate UV radiation due to factors like high humidity and changes in weather conditions, which can partially block out direct sunlight.

Vitamin D3 Synthesis: This UVB light source is designed to provide an optimal Vitamin D3 yield index. Vitamin D3 is essential for reptiles as it aids in calcium absorption, which is crucial for their bone health. Proper calcium absorption helps prevent metabolic diseases that can occur in reptiles.

New Spectrum: This product is described as having a new spectrum, which suggests that it may have been improved or updated from a previous version, possibly the Repti Glo 5.0.

Suitable for Tropical and Sub-tropical Reptiles: The Exo Terra Reptile UVB100 is ideal for reptiles that come from tropical and subtropical regions. These reptiles are adapted to receive moderate UVB radiation, and this light source aims to replicate those conditions.

Effective Range: The product is effective up to a distance of 15 inches, meaning that reptiles should be positioned within this range to receive the optimal UVB exposure.

When using this product, it’s important to follow the manufacturer’s guidelines and recommendations for placement and usage to ensure the health and well-being of your reptile pets. Proper UVB lighting is essential for reptiles, as it helps them metabolize calcium and maintain overall health, especially for species that are native to areas with substantial UVB exposure.
