In this category, you will find UVB lamps that stimulate vitamin D3 synthesis, which is crucial for calcium absorption and the prevention of bone diseases, as well as heating spot lamps to create basking areas where reptiles can thermoregulate.
Also available are full-spectrum lamps that combine light, heat, and UVB, in addition to safe lamp holders and supports for terrariums and turtle tanks.
Lighting should be chosen based on the species kept: some require strong UVB exposure (such as iguanas and turtles), while others need lower levels (such as nocturnal geckos or amphibians). For wattage and UV percentage, consult the product sheets.
Tip: Always position UVB lamps and spots at the correct distance, avoiding direct contact; safety and effectiveness also depend on the terrarium setup.
