Ultraviolet Lights

The Exo Terra Ultraviolet Lights are designed to replicate the natural UV radiation reptiles receive in the wild, providing optimal levels of both UVA and UVB. In their natural habitats, reptiles are constantly exposed to UV radiation. Even nocturnal species, often thought to avoid sunlight, occasionally benefit from UV exposure. One of the standout features of the Exo Terra Ultraviolet Lights is the great Vitamin D3 yield index. This ensures optimal vitamin D3 photosynthesis, which is crucial for calcium absorption. Adequate calcium absorption is essential for the health of reptiles, helping to prevent metabolic disease.

Prevents Metabolic Bone Disease.

Metabolic bone disease (MBD) is a prevalent disorder in captive reptiles resulting from mineral imbalances, primarily calcium, phosphorus, and insufficient vitamin D3. Symptoms include weak bones, tremors, and lethargy. A crucial cause is the lack of ultraviolet B (UVB) light exposure. Reptiles need UVB for vitamin D3 synthesis, vital for calcium processing. Using UVB lights is essential to prevent MBD.

Enhanced Immunity.

UVB light plays a pivotal role in reptile health, especially in synthesizing vitamin D3. This vitamin not only aids calcium metabolism, vital for bone health, but also fortifies the reptile's immune system. When reptiles absorb UVB rays, they produce vitamin D3, which in turn helps regulate immune responses and combat diseases.  Appropriate UVB exposure is instrumental in strengthening the immunity of reptiles, making them less susceptible to various ailments.

Improved Appetite.

Ultraviolet light (UVA and UVB rays) is crucial for the overall well-being of reptiles. Exposure to these wavelengths stimulates natural behaviours and promotes appetite, breeding, and overall reptile health. UVA mainly enhances well-being and vision, influencing activities like mating and food foraging. UVB aids in synthesizing vitamin D3, which impacts calcium metabolism and overall vitality. Combined, UVA and UVB light boosts a reptile's appetite, making them more active and inclined to eat.
