UVB Lighting
UVB is crucial for certain reptile species as it facilitates the synthesis of vitamin D3 in their skin. This essential vitamin is pivotal for proper calcium metabolism, aiding in bone development and preventing metabolic disorders. UVB exposure is integral for the overall health and well-being of some reptiles.
Replace UV bulbs in reptile setups every 6-12 months to ensure optimal UV output. Over time, bulbs degrade, providing insufficient UV radiation essential for reptile health.
