FAQs

How often should I replace the UVB bulb?

It is recommended to replace the bulb every 6-12 months to maintain optimal UVB output. Always follow the manufacturer’s instructions.

Can I use this bulb with any type of reptile?

This bulb is designed primarily for desert-dwelling reptiles that require high levels of UVB. Not all reptiles need such intense UVB exposure.

Does this bulb provide heat?

No, this bulb does not produce heat. A separate heat source, such as a basking lamp, is required.

What wattage is the bulb?

The Exo Terra Reptile UVB 150 Desert Terrarium Bulb is 13 Watts.

How far away should the bulb be from my reptile?

The bulb is effective up to 50 cm (20") away. Make sure your reptile can bask within a safe and appropriate distance.

How do I clean the bulb?

Clean the bulb with a dry cloth only when it's turned off and cooled down.

Troubleshooting

Setup, Compatibility & Care

  1. Installation: Screw the bulb into a suitable fixture designed for reptile use. Position the lamp appropriately within the terrarium, ensuring that the reptile can bask within the effective range (up to 50 cm).
  2. Compatibility: This bulb is compatible with most terrarium setups but is especially beneficial for those with dense screen covers. Always use a proper fixture designed for reptile UVB bulbs.
  3. Care:
  • Placement: Ensure the bulb is positioned correctly within the terrarium to allow the reptile to bask at an appropriate distance.
