26W 5.0 UVB bulb Fluorescent Terrarium CFL UVB Lamp for Chameleons, Iguanas, Snake and Turtles
1. General Purpose
This 26 - watt, 5.0 UVB (Ultraviolet B) bulb is a fluorescent compact fluorescent lamp (CFL) designed specifically for use in terrariums. It is a vital lighting component for reptiles such as chameleons, iguanas, snakes, and turtles.
2. UVB Emission Importance
UVB light is crucial for reptiles as it enables them to synthesize vitamin D3. In the wild, reptiles are exposed to natural sunlight which contains UVB rays. Vitamin D3 is essential for proper calcium metabolism. Without adequate UVB exposure, reptiles can develop serious health problems like metabolic bone disease. For example, a chameleon without enough UVB may have weak bones, difficulty climbing, and deformed limbs over time.
The 5.0 rating indicates the level of UVB output. This specific rating is suitable for a variety of reptile species, providing them with the right amount of UVB radiation they need to thrive in a captive environment.
