## Overview

The Exo Terra 13W UVB Tropical Terrarium Bulb is a compact, energy-efficient fluorescent lamp designed to replicate the UVB radiation levels found in tropical rainforest environments. It supports essential calcium metabolism and natural behaviors in tropical and sub-tropical reptiles, with effective UVB coverage up to 12 inches. Featuring a spiral design for versatile mounting and a long 12,000-hour lifespan, this bulb is a must-have for serious reptile keepers seeking optimal health and vitality for their pets.

## Description

Product Description The Exon Terra Repti-Glo 5.0 Compact Tropical Terrarium Lamp 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 that prevent direct sunlight from reaching them or their basking sites. The advantage of the Exon Terra Repti-Glo 5.0 Compact Tropical Terrarium Lamp is its size and the fact that it is self-ballasted. A regular screw fitting is sufficient to operate these bulbs. The bulb has wattage of 13, and the spiral shape of the bulb enables vertical or horizontal mounting without compromising performance. Although light is much more complex, there are three facets of light that are important for reptile husbandry: ultraviolet light, visible light and infrared light. In order to create these three biological aspects of sunlight artificially, Exon Terra has developed several specialized lights. Reptiles require appropriate and high quality lighting in order to meet certain different metabolic needs. Fluorescent bulbs lose their UV radiation and approximately 50% of their lighting output quality within one year. Changing your terrarium bulb regularly ensures optimal light conditions and UV radiation to keep your reptiles healthy. Box Contains Exo Terra Reptiglo 5.00 Compact Tropical Lamp T10 13w
