What are the benefits of using the Exo Terra Reptile UVB100 T5 VHO?

This bulb provides reptiles with essential UVA and UVB exposure, supporting their natural behaviors and physiological well‐being. It is particularly beneficial for species that avoid direct sunlight, ensuring they receive adequate UV for optimal health.

The Exo Terra Reptile UVB100 T5 VHO ensures prolonged UV output for 12 or more months. It emits stronger UVA and UVB rays compared to traditional T8 bulbs, making it more effective for reptiles requiring higher UV exposure.
