T5 FLUORESCENT TUBES

The 2.0 tubes emit low UVB to avoid disturbing species that do not synthesize calcium through their skin. However, these tubes have an equivalent level of UVA to stimulate the behavior of captive reptiles and amphibians (such as feeding, reproduction, etc.).

The Terra Sunlight 6.0 fluorescent tubes from Reptiles-planet emit high UVB values (for example: 31 µW/cm² at 30 cm) and standard UVA (75 µW/cm² at 30 cm). They are intended for lizards and turtles living in tropical forests or in our regions, where sunlight UV is filtered through tree foliage. Snakes are not concerned, as they eat prey that already contains vitamin D (in their liver). UVA provides physiological well-being to the animals, reduces stress, encourages feeding, and supports reproduction. UVA allows your animal to “see better” and therefore be less stressed. Suitable for: lizards and turtles, such as Green Iguana (Iguana Iguana), Water Dragon (Physignathus Concincinus), aquatic turtles (Pelusios, Ocadia, Rhynoclemys Pulcherima, Kinosternum, etc.), chameleons (Chamaeleo Calyptratus, Furcifer Pardalis, etc.), Anoles (Anolis carolinensis, equestris, roquet), diurnal geckos (Phelsuma Madagascariensis, M. Laticauda, M. Lineata, M. Dubia), Long-tailed lizard (Takydromus sexlineatus), Testudo Horsfieldii, Hermanni, Graeca, etc.
You can use your Terra Sunlight Tropical 6.0 tube with Repti-Ballast T5 and T5 Light Luminaire lighting fixtures.

The T5 Desert Sunlight 12.0 fluorescent tubes from Reptiles-planet emit very high UVB values (for example: 43 µW/cm² at 30 cm) and standard UVA (75 µW/cm² at 30 cm). They are intended for lizards and turtles living in desert or dry tropical regions (savannas). In deserts and open spaces, reptiles receive UV directly (without the canopy filter). The UVB rays in the T5 Desert Sunlight 12.0 help your reptiles synthesize provitamin D3. UVA provides physiological well-being, reduces stress, encourages feeding, and supports reproduction. UVA allows your animal to “see better” and therefore be less stressed. Suitable for: lizards and turtles living in arid environments, such as Bearded Dragons (Pogona Vitticeps), Collared lizards (Crotaphytus, Gambelia), Sceloporus, Savannah Monitors (Varanus Exanthematicus), Horned lizards (Phrynosoma), Uromastyx, Leiocephalus, terrestrial tortoises (Geochelone Pardalis and Sulcata, Testudo Horsfieldii, Hermanni, and Graeca), etc.
