For desert
reptiles such as Bearded Dragons and Tortoises that are kept in vivariums, the
Reptile Systems D3+ UV T5 Reptile Lamp is perfect for giving them the UVB light
they need to generate the all-important Vitamin D3 they need to absorb calcium.
These have higher UV light output than most reptile
strip lights - a healthy 12% UV, better simulating the natural light your
reptile would have received in desert conditions, where foliage and cloud cover
are limited and your reptile would bask in the full heat and UV light of the
sun.
For best results, use with a T5 electronic
controller and replace after 1 year of normal use. This light will only operate
if used with the correct T5 electronic ballast. It is strongly recommended by
Reptile Systems to position the UV light 15cm to 20cm away from the reptile.
