Why use UVB lighting in a terrarium?
UVB lighting is essential for the healthy life of most reptiles from desert and tropical regions. It primarily stimulates the synthesis of vitamin D3, and additionally boosts appetite, activity, and reproductive behaviors, helps recognize the environment and sexual partners, aids in food searching, and increases the vitality and activity of the animal.
What can go wrong without UVB lighting?
Birds and reptiles, unlike humans, have the appropriate receptors to perceive ultraviolet light. An animal may lose its sense of orientation, be aggressive, or lethargic in the absence of UVB light. Additionally, a lack of UV rays can lead to various diseases, including bone rickets.
What animals is the UVB 5.0 26W bulb suitable for?
All species of reptiles and amphibians from tropical, subtropical, and semi-arid areas. This includes young chameleons and bearded dragons, most day-active geckos, snakes, mammals, some amphibians, all turtles, and scorpions.
At what height should it be installed?
The bulb operates effectively at a height of 15 to 60 cm.
