Description
The Exo Terra Reptile UVB150 bulb offers an extremely high UVB output, mimicking the intense sunlight found in desert regions. Desert reptiles are more exposed to UV radiation due to the direct sunlight in these areas. This bulb is a great choice for terrariums with thick screen covers, as it ensures enough UVB penetration even though dense screens can block up to 50% of UVB rays. It has a high Vitamin D3 yield index, which promotes vitamin D3 photosynthesis, helping reptiles absorb calcium and avoid metabolic diseases. Ideal for desert-dwelling reptiles, it features high UVB output, excellent D3 conversion, and provides the essential UVB rays for proper calcium metabolism. It's highly recommended for terrariums with dense screen covers.
To use this Exo Terra UVB150 bulb, simply install it in your desert reptile terrarium. Make sure it's placed at an appropriate distance from your reptile's basking area according to the terrarium's size. It's important to note that while this bulb provides high UVB output, you should still monitor your reptile's behavior to ensure they're getting the right amount of exposure. As for maintenance, replace the bulb every 6 - 12 months, as the UVB output decreases over time. Keep the bulb clean by gently wiping it with a dry cloth to maintain its effectiveness. And always turn off the power before handling the bulb to avoid any electrical hazards.
