The Zoo Med Reptisun 10.0 UVB T5 HO (High Output) Lamp is designed to emit a full spectrum of UVB radiation, which is essential for the health and well-being of reptiles. Compared to the Reptisun 5.0 lamp, which has a recommended distance of 12 inches (30 cm) from the lamp's surface, the Reptisun 10.0 lamp can be placed up to 20 inches (51 cm) away from the surface, making it ideal for larger terrariums where greater UVB penetration is required.
The Reptisun 10.0 lamp is specifically recommended for use in enclosures with screen covers, as these can filter out up to 50% of the UVB wavelengths. By using the Reptisun 10.0 lamp, reptile owners can ensure that their pets receive the necessary UVB radiation, even in setups with screen covers.
Compared to standard Reptisun 10.0 lamps, the Reptisun 10.0 UVB T5 HO lamp offers increased UVB output and brighter light, making it an ideal choice for larger reptile habitats. This higher level of UVB radiation is essential for preventing or reversing metabolic bone disease, a common issue seen in captive reptiles.
The Reptisun 10.0 UVB T5 HO lamp is a trusted choice among zoos, veterinarians, and top reptile professionals, who recognize its importance in maintaining the health and well-being of reptiles in captive environments. By providing the necessary UVB radiation, this lamp helps ensure that reptiles can properly synthesize vitamin D3, which is crucial for calcium absorption and bone development.
In summary, the Zoo Med Reptisun 10.0 UVB T5 HO Lamp is a powerful and versatile tool for reptile owners, offering increased UVB output and greater penetration depth to meet the needs of larger terrariums and enclosures with screen covers. Its use is widely recommended by industry experts to help prevent or reverse metabolic bone disease in captive reptiles, ensuring their optimal health and well-being.
