Exo Terra Reptile UVB 150 13W Desert Terrarium Lamp PT2188

The Exo Terra Reptile UVB150 is a 13-watt compact fluorescent bulb designed to provide essential UVB light for reptiles, amphibians, and invertebrates. This bulb simulates the high UVB output found in desert environments, where reptiles receive more direct sunlight. It is suitable for desert-dwelling reptiles and can also be used in terrariums with dense screen covers, as these covers can filter out up to 50% of UVB rays. The Reptile UVB150 promotes vitamin D3 photosynthesis, which is crucial for calcium absorption and helps prevent metabolic bone disease. It has a high Vitamin D3 yield index. Regular replacement is recommended to maintain optimal light and UV radiation levels. Exo Terra suggests changing terrarium bulbs yearly to ensure healthy conditions for reptiles. **Key Features:** * 13-watt compact fluorescent bulb * High UVB output, simulates desert conditions * Promotes vitamin D3 photosynthesis * Aids in calcium absorption * Helps prevent metabolic bone disease * Suitable for reptiles, amphibians, and invertebrates * Can be used with terrariums with dense screen covers * Recommended yearly replacement * SKU: PT2188
