Exo Terra Reptile UVB 100

Exo Terra Reptile UVB 100 – For rainforest and shade dwellers

The Exo Terra Reptile UVB 100 was specially developed for tropical and subtropical terrariums. It produces a moderate but effective amount of UVB radiation that corresponds to the conditions in shady rainforest habitats. In such habitats, plants, high humidity and changing weather conditions filter out most of the direct sunlight. It is precisely this natural environment that the UVB 100 reliably simulates.

UVB rays play a central role in the metabolism of reptiles. They enable the body’s own vitamin D3 synthesis. This vitamin in turn supports the absorption of calcium from food. A stable calcium metabolism protects against deficiency symptoms such as bone softening or growth disorders. A high-quality UVB source therefore forms the basis for species-appropriate husbandry.

The Reptile UVB 100 works effectively up to a distance of around 40 cm. This makes it ideal for small to medium-sized terrariums. It is important that it is positioned above the animals’ preferred area so that they can actively use the UV light. At the same time, retreat areas without direct UVB radiation should be available, as animals choose between zones independently.

In addition to UVB, the lamp also provides UVA rays. These promote natural behavior, increase activity and stimulate appetite. The reproductive behavior of many species is also positively influenced. This makes the entire terrarium climate appear more lively and natural.

For optimum brightness, you can combine the UVB 100 with the Exo Terra Natural Light. This gives you a balanced ratio of visible light and UV radiation. The result is a bright, vital terrarium that benefits both plants and animals.

The Exo Terra Reptile UVB 100 is therefore the ideal choice for rainforest and shade dwellers that require moderate UV levels. It creates natural lighting conditions, supports the metabolism and makes a decisive contribution to the long-term health of your terrarium inhabitants.
