Exo Terra UVB 100 Tropical 13W

The Exo Terra Reptile UVB 100, 13W delivers a moderate to high level of UVB radiation, akin to the conditions found in shaded areas of rainforests and other tropical regions. Reptiles inhabiting these environments receive reduced UV exposure due to various climatic factors (such as elevated humidity and fluctuating weather) that obstruct direct sunlight from reaching them or their basking spots.

One of the standout features of the Exo Terra Repti Glo Compact Fluorescent bulb is its compact design and self-ballasted nature. These bulbs can be easily operated with a standard screw fitting. The spiral configuration allows for both vertical and horizontal installation without sacrificing performance.

For optimal results, it is advisable to pair a high UVB output (like Repti Glo 5.0 and 10.0) with a very high visual light output (Repti Glo 2.0). Keep in mind that fluorescent bulbs do not generate adequate heat; therefore, an additional heat source is necessary (such as an incandescent basking lamp).

Key Features:

• Perfect for all tropical and sub-tropical reptiles
• High UVB output
• Effective at distances up to 30 cm (12")
• Supplies essential UVB rays for optimal calcium metabolism
• Encourages appetite, activity, and reproductive behaviors through UVA radiation
• Best used alongside Repti Glo 2.0 to achieve a greater visual light output
