Description
The Exo Terra Reptile UVB100 is designed for reptiles that naturally inhabit shaded or low-light environments. These species, often referred to as “shade-dwellers,” are accustomed to moderate levels of UVB radiation, as sunlight is filtered through dense vegetation or cloud cover.
With its 3% UVB output, this bulb is ideal for creating environments where low to moderate UVB exposure is required. Supporting Ferguson Zone 1 and the Cryptophotic Zone, it provides the appropriate UVB levels for nocturnal, crepuscular species and shade-dwelling reptiles. The UVB100 promotes vitamin D3 synthesis, which is essential for calcium absorption, bone development, and the prevention of metabolic bone disease (MBD). This bulb is particularly suited for terrariums replicating shaded tropical conditions and works effectively when combined with naturalistic lighting setups. It ensures a healthy, comfortable habitat that supports the well-being and physiological needs of reptiles that thrive in low-UVB environments.
The innovative Sunergy™ phosphor blend sets Exo Terra’s Reptile UVB T5 lamps apart. Sunergy™ is a state-of-the-art phosphor blend developed using German precision technology to replicate the energy spectrum of the sun, particularly in the UV range. This cutting-edge blend comes closer to natural sunlight than any other lamp on the market and is designed to meet the highest standards, delivering unmatched quality and performance. With Sunergy™, Exo Terra’s Reptile UVB T5 lamps provide reptiles with the UVB they need for health, vitality, and natural behavior.
