CAROLINACUSTOMCAGES 34" Reptile Lighting 10.0 UVB T5HO 39W Fluorescent Tube

• The best fluorescent tube that we’ve ever used for our reptiles’ UVB requirements! This UVB is necessary for your reptile’s synthesis of vitamin D3, which is essential for the effective metabolism of dietary calcium in its bones and blood. Now protected by heavy duty Kraft thick-wall tube to compensate for Amazon’s shipping inadequacies and UPS’s irresponsible abuse.
• Some reptiles require more or less UVB than others. A UVB 10.0 Tube means that 10% of the tube’s output is UVB. Bearded dragons and similar desert reptiles require more UVB and a 10.0 tube is the better choice. Green iguanas, anoles and similar jungle / forest reptiles require less UVB and a 5.0 tube is the better choice in smaller habitats when these reptiles are younger. We also prefer to use the 5.0 tube for our translucent bearded dragons and for our silkback bearded dragons (“silkies”).
• Other tubes that we tried either don’t have adequate output in the beginning or they degrade much faster than should be expected.
