The Zoo Med Turtle Lamp Combo Pack is designed to provide the essential lighting and heating requirements for aquatic turtles in their habitat. Here’s a breakdown of the components included in this combo pack:

50w Turtle Tuff Splashproof Halogen Lamp: This lamp is designed to provide a heat source for your aquatic turtle’s basking area. It is specially designed to withstand high humidity levels and accidental water splashing that can occur in turtle aquariums. Regular heat lamps may shatter or fail when exposed to such conditions, so this splashproof halogen lamp is a safer option.

ReptiSun 13 Watt 5.0 UVB Mini Compact Fluorescent: UVB lighting is crucial for the health of reptiles and turtles. The ReptiSun 5.0 UVB Mini Compact Fluorescent bulb provides the necessary UVB rays that help aquatic turtles metabolize calcium, which is essential for their shell and overall health. It’s important for turtles to receive adequate UVB exposure to prevent health issues like shell deformities.

By combining a heat source with UVB lighting in a single combo pack, you can ensure that your aquatic turtle has the proper conditions for basking, thermoregulation, and UVB exposure, which are all essential for their well-being. Be sure to follow the manufacturer’s recommendations for the placement and usage of these lamps to create a suitable and safe habitat for your aquatic turtle. Regularly check and replace the bulbs as needed to maintain their effectiveness.
