Zoo Med Heat + UVB Combo Pack

Zoo Med's Heat and UVB combo pack offers the perfect lighting combination for your reptile's overall well - being and long life. This pack pairs the top - selling basking lamp suitable for all reptile types with the well - known Reptisun 5.0 self - ballasted compact fluorescent UVB lamp, which is great for both reptiles and amphibians. It includes the best - selling 100 - watt Repti Basking Spot Lamp and the ReptiSun 5.0 UVB Compact Fluorescent Bulb. As a bonus, it comes with a free calcium supplement. The Repti Basking Spot Lamp features a double reflector that focuses 35% more light and heat in the beam compared to other reflector bulbs. This creates a more effective basking area and raises the overall temperature in your terrarium. It can last up to 2,000 hours. The Reptisun 5.0 UVB Compact Fluorescent Lamp helps prevent or reverse Metabolic Bone Disease, a common issue in captive reptiles aged 6 to 12 months. It provides UVB for vitamin D production and calcium metabolism. The lamp also emits UVA, which reptiles can detect and that boosts their activity, reproductive behaviors, and appetite. Note that it contains mercury, so contact your local waste company for proper disposal.

Using this Zoo Med combo pack is easy. First, install the 100 - watt Repti Basking Spot Lamp in the appropriate fixture in your terrarium. Make sure it's placed at a proper distance to create an effective basking area. Then, install the ReptiSun 5.0 UVB Compact Fluorescent Lamp. Keep the lamps on for the recommended hours each day to ensure your reptile gets enough light and heat. When it comes to maintenance, regularly check the bulbs for any signs of damage. If you notice the light getting dimmer or the bulb is flickering, it might be time to replace it. Since the UVB lamp contains mercury, don't just throw it in the trash. Contact your local waste company for the right way to dispose of it. Also, remember to always handle the bulbs with clean hands to avoid reducing their lifespan.
