- UVA: Reptiles and amphibians can see things that humans can't. UVA is part of the rainbow of color that reptiles can see. UVA helps increase activity levels, appetite and reproductive behaviors. Without UVA, they are colorblind!

Lamp Distance
This lamp emits beneficial UVB up to 24" from the surface of the bulb. Glass and plastic filter out UVB; there should be no glass or plastic between the lamp and your reptile. Fine mesh blocks up to 50% of light and UVB. This should be taken into consideration when determining lamp distance. The T5 HO ReptiSun 5.0 is designed for most reptiles housed in terrariums that are 12" to 24" tall. Always have lamp at least 6" away from your animal.
When to Replace your Lamp
This lamp will provide your animals with beneficial UVB for a period of 12 months when used 10 to 12 hours per day. Record date of first use on lamps and replace after 12 months. |
