Unlike desert reptiles, forest dwellers such as geckos, chameleons, and iguanas require less UV-B radiation. The Arcadia D3 Reptile Forest T5 UVB tube from Arcadia Reptile was specifically designed for these species.
With 6% UV-B and 30% UV-A, the tube supports vitamin D3 synthesis, calcium metabolism, and natural behavior without overtaxing the animals. As a high-output (HO) T5 fluorescent tube with full daylight spectrum (7,000 K), it simulates natural sunlight and optimally brings out the vibrant colors of the animals.
Additionally, the Arcadia D3 Reptile Forest promotes the growth of terrarium plants and creates a bright, natural climate in forest or tropical terrariums. Like all UV lamps, this tube should be replaced after 12 months at the latest.
