Allows turtles and tortoises the proper UVB wavelengths needed to maintain healthy shell growth

Allows UVB assisted photo conversion up to 20" (51cm) from the lamp's surface. (Compared to 12" (30cm) on the ReptiSun 5.0)

1. Contains the highest amounts of both UVB and UVA wavelengths (according to an independent laboratory spectral analysis.) The UVB wavelength helps to prevent or reverse Metabolic Bone Disease in green iguanas as well as other species of lizards in captivity. Strengthens and improves shell growth on all captive turtles and tortoises.

2. UVA wavelength increases appetite, physical activity, helps to induce reproductive behaviors and is beneficial to the psychological well-being of captive reptiles and amphibians.

3. Safer than adding powdered or liquid synthetic D3 supplements, as the UVB wavelength allows all reptiles the ability to regulate their own Vitamin D3 levels by endogenous synthesis as they would in nature! Eliminates the risk of vitamin D3 overdose (highly toxic) from synthetic sources.

4. Wavelength penetrates a full 10-12" from the bulb's surface. We use pure quartz glass sleeves.

5. The bulb's UVA/UVB wavelength remains effective for 1 to 1-1/2 years. (Replace bulbs yearly).

6. This bulb has been designed for use with all types of lizards(diurnal and nocturnal), turtles and tortoises.

7. For reptiles with extremely high UVB requirements (chameleons, bearded dragons, uromastyx etc) more than one tube may be required.

Tube diameters:

T8 = 8/8ths in. = 1 in.
T12 = 12/8ths in. = 1½ in.

A fluorescent tube which produces much less UVA & UVB than the Iguana Light & Reptisun 5.00. Designed for use with snakes and amphibians, which don't have high UVB requirements

The 15ins. and the 18ins.tubes are 1ins. diameter.
The others are all 1.5ins.diameter
