FAQs

How often should I replace the bulb?

It is recommended to replace the Exo Terra UVB100 T5 VHO bulb every 6-12 months to ensure optimal UVB output.

What is the correct distance between the bulb and my reptile?

The distance varies based on the reptile species. Research the specific requirements for your reptile. A general guideline is 10-12 inches for moderate UVB-requiring species, but this can vary.

Can I use this bulb for all reptiles?

No. The UVB100 is suited for reptiles that require moderate UVB levels. Research your reptile's specific UVB needs.

How do I clean the bulb?

Use a soft, dry cloth to gently wipe the bulb. Avoid using any liquids or harsh chemicals.

What are the benefits of UVA rays?

UVA rays stimulate appetite, activity, and reproductive behavior in reptiles.

What is the difference between UVB100, 200 and 300?

The numbers indicate the strength of the UVB output. The UVB100 is designed for moderate UVB needs, 200 and 300 have higher UVB outputs, suitable for species with higher UVB requirements.

Why is UVB important for my reptile?

UVB helps reptiles synthesize vitamin D3, which is essential for calcium absorption and prevents metabolic bone disease.

Troubleshooting

Bulb not turning on.

Check the power supply and ensure the bulb is properly installed in the fixture. Replace the bulb if it's nearing the end of its lifespan.

Reptile avoiding the basking spot.

Adjust the distance between the bulb and the basking spot. Ensure the basking spot is at the appropriate temperature. Consider a lower-output UVB bulb.

Cloudy bulb appearance.

Clean the bulb with a soft, dry cloth. If the cloudiness persists, the bulb may need replacing.
