Terra bulb UVB 10.0/13W

Compact Terra UVB Bulb Happet 10.0/13W

Specialized lighting for desert and steppe terrariums

The UVB 10.0/13W bulb is specialized lighting designed for reptiles that naturally live in open, very sunny areas such as deserts and steppes. It mimics the strong desert sun, providing animals with exactly the dose of UV radiation they need for healthy living. 

Intense UVB radiation (10.0%): Provides a high dose of radiation necessary for the synthesis of vitamin D3 in desert species. Proper D3 synthesis is crucial for the correct metabolism of calcium, which directly prevents MBD (Metabolic Bone Disease). The 10.0% level replicates the natural, strong sunlight typical of these regions.

Recommended use for diurnal species:

The bulb is dedicated to animals that spend most of their time in nature in open, heavily sunlit areas:

• Agamidae: e.g. bearded dragon (Pogona vitticeps), spiny-tailed lizards (Uromastyx spp.)
• Iguanidae: e.g. desert iguanas (Dipsosaurus dorsalis), chuckwallas (Sauromalus spp.)
• Testudinidae: e.g. steppe tortoise (Testudo horsfieldii), Greek tortoise (Testudo hermanni), desert tortoise (Centrochelys sulcata), leopard tortoise (Stigmochelys pardalis)
• Varanidae: e.g. savannah monitor (Varanus exanthematicus), spiny-tailed monitor (Varanus acanthurus).

Key product features:

• Low heat emission: The compact (spiral) bulb with a power of 13W generates little heat, making it an ideal solution for small and medium tanks, minimizing the risk of overheating the animal.
• Health support: Emits an optimal level of UVB radiation, crucial for the proper metabolism of calcium. Supports the synthesis of vitamin D3, which is essential for healthy bones and prevents metabolic diseases (MBD).
• Safety: The appropriate level of UV radiation is completely safe for reptiles' skin and does not cause burns.
• Energy efficiency: Low power consumption.
• Versatility: For all diurnal reptiles inhabiting desert and steppe areas.
