The Science of Light
UVA wavelegth increases appetite, activity, and helps to induce reproductive behavior in captive reptiles.
Spectral power distribution studies show that tungsten filament bulbs (Neodymium bulbs or spot lamps) do not emit UVB and therefore do not assist the animals in D3 synthesis or calcium absorption.
Approx Size: Diameter: 8.5"; Length: 7.25"
Decreases vibration / moving of bulbs which willincrease the "burn life" of your bulbs.
(Great for use with a Repti Porcelain Clamp Lamp, Economy Clamp Lamp or Brooder Lamp).
Easily adjusts to fit most standard size terrariums. Special clips keep power cords secure and out of the way.
Reptil Lamp Stand for terrariums from 20 gallons to 100+ gallons.
Does not include light fixtures and light bulbs.
1.Custom ceramic base Clamp Lamp ideal for use with all types of reptile incandescent light sources or ceramic heat emitters.
2.Heat-resistant porcelain socket, handles up to a 150 watt spot or ceramic heat emitter.
3.Wire guard is safer than an aluminum reflector as it prevents unnecessary heat build up and possible hand burns.
4.Polarized plug for safety. Six foot power cord. Safety Clamp secures lamp to terrarium to prevent accidents for extra safety, use the Zoo Med Repti Lamp Stand).

Eliminates risk of vitamin D3 overdose (highly toxic) from synthetic sources. A full 5% UVB output allows vitamin D3 synthesis to occur naturally, preventing or reversing MBD and other health problems in turtles and tortoises, Bearded Dragons, Iguanas, and all other diurnal reptiles. Safer than adding powdered or liquid synthetic D3 supplements, as the UVB wavelength allows all reptiles the ability to regulate their own Vitamin D levels by endogenous synthesis as they would in nature.
The ReptiSun 5.0 is effective for UVB induced photo conversion of vitamin D3 in reptiles' skin at distances up to 12", so should be placed about 12" from reptile's basking site.
Bulbs last a minimum of one year before diminishing wavelength. (Replace Bulb at 1 year.)
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.
Safer than adding powdered or liquid synthetic D3 supplements, as the UVB wavelength allows all reptiles the ability to regulate their own Vitamin D levels by endogenous synthesis as they would in nature. Eliminates risk of vitamin D3 overdose (highly toxic) from synthetic sources.
Wavelength penetrates a full 10-12" from bulb's surface.
Bulbs last a minimum of one year before diminishing wavelength. (Replace Bulb at 1 to 1 1/2 years.)
.
The ability to focus the Spot Bulb on a branch or a rock, allows for the reproduction of a more natural basking environment. Repti Basking Spot Bulbs also provide vital UVA rays which promote breeding, feeding and are beneficial to a reptile's psychological well being.
Excellent for larger size glass terrariums (40 gallons and up), wood terrariums, acrylic terrariums, or wire cage enclosures.
