Reptiles Expert UV-Matrix

Our UVB matrix will help you to choose the right UVB lamp:

  1. Which animal is it? Does it need more (desert dwellers) or less UVB light
  2. This results in the recommendation for the UVB lamp and wattage (green area is OK)
  3. Distance between the animal and the UVB lamp
  4. Compliance with the correct lighting duration per day

 

Important basic rules:

  • Don't overdo it - better start with lower UVB levels or shorter exposure times
  • ALWAYS give the animal a shady retreat
    Always fasten lamps vertically above the sunbathing area
  • Never at an angle - otherwise the eyes will be damaged
  • Replace older UVB bulbs regularly, as UVB performance decreases with age. Definitely after 3500 operating hours.
