WHY YOUR REPTILES NEED UVB AND UVA

LIGHTING:

UVB: Reptiles need UVB for vitamin D production and calcium metabolism. Without UVB,

reptiles can develop Metabolic Bone Disease in 6 months or less. UVB along with proper

temperatures, will enable your reptiles to make vitamin D and process calcium from

their diet.

UVA: Reptiles and amphibians can see things that humans can’t. UVA is part of the

rainbow of colors that reptiles can see. UVA helps to increase activity levels, appetite,

and reproductive behaviors. Without UVA, they are colorblind!

IMPORTANT NOTES: Fine mesh blocks up to 50% of light and UVB. This should be taken

into consideration when determining lamp distance. Glass and plastic ﬁ lter out UVB;

there should be no glass or plastic between the lamp and your reptile. Always have

your lamp at least six inches away from your reptiles.

WHEN TO REPLACE YOUR LAMP: This lamp will provide your animals with beneﬁ cial

UVB for a period of 12 months when used 10 to 12 hours per day. Record date of ﬁ rst

use on lamp and replace after 12 months. Use Zoo Med’s “UVB Reminder” tool online at:

www.zoomed.com.
