Compact UVB Lamp – 13Watts

The Exo Terra Hagen Compact UVB Lamp – 13Watts is a high-quality bulb designed to emit the ideal UVB spectrum for optimal Vitamin D3 photosynthesis in reptiles. It is specifically tailored to meet the needs of diurnal reptiles from desert environments. These reptiles typically inhabit areas that receive direct unfiltered sunlight, which contains high levels of UVB radiation.

One of the key benefits of the Hagen Compact UVB Lamp – 13Watts Bulb is its ability to provide a significantly high Vitamin D3 yield index. This feature enhances vitamin D3 photosynthesis, thereby aiding in calcium absorption and helping prevent metabolic diseases in reptiles. By replicating the conditions found in their natural habitats, this bulb supports the overall health and well-being of diurnal reptiles with high UV requirements.

Benefits of Exo Terra Hagen UVB200

1. Optimal UVB Spectrum: The UVB Lamp – 13Watts emits the ideal UVB spectrum for reptiles, replicating the conditions found in their natural habitats. This ensures that reptiles receive the necessary UVB radiation to promote vitamin D3 photosynthesis.
2. Enhanced Vitamin D3 Photosynthesis: The significantly high Vitamin D3 yield index of the UVB200 bulb results in increased vitamin D3 photosynthesis. Vitamin D3 is essential for reptiles as it aids in calcium absorption, contributing to healthy bone development and overall physiological functioning.
3. Improved Calcium Absorption: By promoting vitamin D3 production, the Reptile UVB200 bulb helps reptiles absorb and utilize calcium more effectively. This is crucial for maintaining proper bone density and preventing calcium-related issues such as metabolic bone disease.
4. Prevention of Metabolic Diseases: The adequate UVB exposure provided by the UVB200 bulb plays a vital role in preventing metabolic diseases in reptiles. Metabolic bone disease, in particular, can be a serious condition resulting from calcium deficiency or improper calcium metabolism. The UVB200 bulb helps mitigate this risk.
5. Suitable for Various Terrarium Setups: The extended UVB penetration of the UVB200 bulb makes it an excellent choice for taller terrariums or those with denser screens. It ensures that reptiles housed in these setups receive sufficient UVB radiation throughout the enclosure, meeting their physiological and behavioral needs.
6. Simulates Natural Sunlight: The Exo Terra Reptile UVB200 bulb closely replicates the unfiltered sunlight found in desert environments with high levels of UVB. This natural simulation helps promote natural behaviors and overall reptile well-being.
