Although light is much more complex, there are only three facets of light that are important for reptile husbandry: ultraviolet light, visible light and infrared light. In order to create these three biological aspects of sunlight artificially, Exo Terra has developed several specialized lights. Reptiles require appropriate and high quality lighting in order to meet certain different metabolic needs.
Ultraviolet Lights
The Exo Terra Reptile Ultraviolet Lights emit optimal levels of UVB. The optimal Vitamin D3 yield index ensures vitamin D3 photosynthesis to aid calcium absorption and prevent metabolic diseases.
All-In-One Bulbs
The Exo Terra All-In-One Bulbs are the choice of professional breeders as it provides the proper balance of ultraviolet light (including UVA and UVB), visual light and infrared light (heat), in one easy-to-install bulb.
Basking Spots
Exo Terra’s Basking Spots are ideal for plant’s photosynthesis and the UVA (ultraviolet A) light contributes to reptiles’ physiological well-being. The spots allow one to direct the heat and light in a certain direction to create basking sites in the terrarium.
Heat Lamps
The Heat Lamps are ideal for plant’s photosynthesis and the UVA (ultraviolet A) light contributes to reptiles’ physiological well-being. Another important factor is the heat emitted by these bulbs to increase the over all ambient temperature in the terrarium.
Plant Lamps
Exo Terra’s Plant Lamps are ideal light sources for bio-active planted terrariums. Their high visible light levels contribute to the physiological wellbeing of your reptiles, amphibians and invertebrates and lets them experience and perceive the colors in their environment more naturally.
Dome Fixtures
The fixture is an important aspect of the lighting and heating system, ensuring the safety and proper function of the applied light or heat source.

Specialty Lights
Exo Terra’s Specialty Bulbs are perfectly suited for nocturnal reptiles and amphibians. The soft illumination not only enhances their natural behavior and activity patterns but also provides a calming atmosphere that promotes overall well-being.
