Exo Terra Solar Glo – 80 Watt

 

The Exo Terra Solar Glo is a specialized reptile bulb designed to mimic natural sunlight and provide the necessary lighting conditions for the health and well-being of reptiles. Here are some key features and benefits of the Exo Terra Solar Glo:

 

Full Spectrum Lighting: The bulb emits a full spectrum of light that includes UVB (Ultraviolet B) and UVA (Ultraviolet A) radiation, visible light, and infrared heat. This combination closely resembles the sunlight found in the reptile’s natural habitat.

UVB and UVA Radiation: UVB radiation is essential for reptiles as it helps in the synthesis of Vitamin D3 in their skin. Vitamin D3 is crucial for calcium metabolism and bone health. UVA radiation is also important for promoting natural behaviors and overall well-being in reptiles.

Visual Light: The bulb emits visible light, which allows reptile keepers to observe their pets more clearly. This is particularly important for monitoring behavior, health, and coloration.

Infrared Heat: Infrared radiation emitted by the bulb provides heat, creating a basking spot for the reptile to thermoregulate and maintain its body temperature.

Prevention of Metabolic Bone Disease (MBD): Metabolic Bone Disease is a common ailment in reptiles due to insufficient UVB exposure. The Exo Terra Solar Glo’s UVB radiation helps prevent MBD by promoting proper calcium absorption and utilization, leading to healthier bones and overall vitality.

Appetite and Activity Stimulation: The carefully tuned light spectrum and UVB levels can stimulate appetite and activity in reptiles, encouraging natural behaviors and improving their quality of life.

Easy Installation: The Exo Terra Solar Glo is a self-ballasted mercury vapor lamp, which means it doesn’t require an external ballast for operation. It can be easily screwed into a standard ceramic socket. This simplifies setup and reduces the need for additional equipment.

Variety of Wattages: The bulb is available in different wattages (80 W, 125 W, and 160 W), allowing reptile keepers to choose the appropriate intensity of light and heat for their specific setup and species.

Compatibility: The Exo Terra Solar Glo can be used with various lamp fixtures, including the Exo Terra Light Dome, Reptile Dome, or Wire Light, providing flexibility in how the bulb is positioned and used within the enclosure.

 

Overall, the Exo Terra Solar Glo is designed to provide a comprehensive lighting solution for reptile enclosures, promoting natural behaviors, physical health, and vibrant coloration. It’s a popular choice among professional breeders and reptile enthusiasts who seek to create optimal living conditions for their reptile pets.
