CAROLINACUSTOMCAGES ONE 22” Reptile Lighting 10.0 UVB T5HO 24W Fluorescent Tube

The best fluorescent tube that we’ve ever used for our desert reptiles’ UVB requirements! A 10.0 UVB Reptile Lighting Fluorescent Tube means that 10% of the tube’s output is UVB. This UVB is necessary for your reptile’s synthesis of vitamin D3, which is essential for the effective metabolism of dietary calcium in its bones and blood.

Some reptiles require more or less UVB than others. Chameleons and similar reptiles require less UVB than desert reptiles and a 5.0 tube is the better choice. We also prefer to use the 5.0 tube for our translucent bearded dragons and for our silkback bearded dragons (“silkies”).

Now protected by heavy duty Kraft thick-wall tube to compensate for Amazon’s shipping inadequacies and UPS’s irresponsible abuse.
