Zoo Med ReptiSun T8 10.0 UVB Lamp, 18" Length
One of the most important parts of owning a reptile is ensuring that they get the heat and light they need to be happy and healthy. There are plenty of reptile habitat light fixtures and hoods out there, but the Zoo Med ReptiSun 10.0 UVB Lamp is a popular choice. At 18 inches long, with a wavelength that penetrates a full 20" from the bulb's surface, this reptile heat lamp is ideal if you need more than 12” of UVB penetration for a larger terrarium.
Wondering what type of Zoo Med light fixture your reptile needs? Not all reptile heat lamps are created equal. Your reptile needs both UVA basking heat lamps for regulation of sleep and eating and UVB lamps to help them properly uptake calcium for strong bones, a healthy shell and muscle function. The Zoo Med ReptiSun 10.0 UVB Lamp provides 10% UVB intensity and 30% UVA intensity, making it a great lizard, turtle and tortoise heat lamp.
While you’re looking into reptile heat lamps, don’t forget infrared light. Infrared heat lamps and basking bulbs are often used at night for warmth that won’t disturb your reptile’s sleeping patterns. That’s a lot of lights, right? Don’t worry—there are reptile light timers and terrarium controllers to make sure all of your lizard heat lamps come on at just the right hour. Pick up the Zoo Med ReptiSun 10.0 UVB Lamp and everything else you need with in-store pickup at your local Petco or order online for convenient delivery.
