Reptile Systems mercury vapours provide UVA and UVB for reptiles, aiding vision as well as the production of vitamin D3, which is essential in synthesises calcium for healthy bones, thus reducing the risk of Metabolic Bone Disease (MBD).
The Arcadia Reptile Lighting Guide is a tool to enable keepers to make an informed choice of lighting for their reptile, amphibian or invertebrate. Historically, advice for reptiles was simply to buy a 5% UVB lamp for forest animals and a 10% lamp for desert animals.
The Reptisun® UVB/LED bulb emits UVB wavelengths from 295 nm to 320 nm. UVA. UVA is part of reptile vision, so without it they’re colorblind! A portion of UVA wavelengths (from 320nm-335nm) also help regulate Vitamin D3 production and let reptile’s body’s know when they’ve created enough.
Stronger UVB and Brighter Light: Twice as strong as standard ReptiSun® 5.0 Lamps! Increased UVB Output: Perfect for larger reptile habitats (see lamp distance notes on package). Helps to prevent or reverse Metabolic Bone Disease commonly seen in captive reptiles.
The D3EVO® UV-B Basking lamp has been specifically re-designed to provide essential energy for reptiles in the USA, Canada and other 110-120V areas.
High performance lamp providing UV-B, UV-A, visible light and heat from a single source. Important for reptiles development and health. Aids the synthesis of Vitamin D3 . Helps prevent metabolic bone disease. Stimulates reproduction. Can be used alongside Arcadia linear Reptile lamps to generate a targeted photo-gradient.
20 sie 2024 · Full-spectrum lighting is essential for reptile health. Sunlight – whether natural or simulated in a vivarium – is a vital resource. For decades, the focus has been upon provision of the correct spectrum and intensity of ultraviolet-B (UVB), primarily to enable vitamin D3 synthesis in the skin.
