Why is Terrarium Lighting Important?

Reptiles are cold-blooded animals that rely on external heat and light sources to regulate their body temperature. Without proper lighting, they are at risk of deficiency diseases such as MBD (Metabolic Bone Disease) and other health problems.

UVB Lamps for Reptiles

UVB light is essential for the reptile's ability to produce vitamin D3, which in turn enables calcium absorption. We offer UVB lamps with different strengths and coverage areas, adapted to species and terrarium size.

Heat Lamps and Heat Sources

To create a "basking area" many reptiles need a directional heat lamp. These lamps help the animal regulate its body temperature by selecting warmer or cooler areas in the terrarium.

Night lights and night lighting

For nocturnal reptiles, night lights with blue or red light are ideal. They do not disrupt the circadian rhythm but provide enough light for observation and safety for the animal during the night.

Terrarium Lighting by Species

The needs of geckos, turtles and chameleons vary greatly, for example. It is important to adapt the lighting to the species' native environment – tropical, desert or subtropical.

Complementary Lighting Accessories

For best effect, reflectors, lamp brackets and time-controlled switches are also required. We offer complete solutions for those who want to create a safe and efficient lighting environment.

Change Bulbs Regularly

UVB lamps lose their effectiveness over time, even if they are still lit. Check the lifespan and replace them as recommended to ensure sufficient UVB radiation.
