Zoo Med T5 HO ReptiSun 5.0 UVB, 12"

UVB is an essential wavelength naturally found in sunlight, and is beneficial for most — if not all — reptiles. UVB is critical to helping your pet’s bones stay healthy and strong, and plays a role in a variety of other essential functions. The Zoo Med T5 HO ReptiSun 5.0 UVB is a T5 HO linear fluorescent bulb that is twice as strong as standard T8 ReptiSun 5.0 bulbs, enabling them to provide correct levels of UVB to low-UVB reptiles housed in larger enclosures. This high-quality bulb is made in Germany and used (and recommended) by zoos, veterinarians, and top reptile professionals. Instructions for Use: Install the 12" Zoo Med T5 HO ReptiSun 5.0 UVB in a 14" Zoo Med ReptiSun T5 HO Terrarium Hood and place over the basking area. This bulb tends to perform best with low-UVB reptiles in small terrestrial (wide) terrariums between 24-30" long. Replace the Zoo Med T5 HO ReptiSun 5.0 UVB every 12 months to maintain reliable UVB output. For best results, use with a Zoo Med Digital Digital UV
