Terrarium Lighting
Different reptiles have different lighting needs. Bearded dragons require a basking spot with suitable warmth and UVB exposure, while nocturnal geckos benefit from a consistent day-night cycle. Choosing the right terrarium lighting means considering each species' natural habits and the conditions inside its enclosure.
With UVB bulbs, heat lamps and specialised lighting equipment, REPTI PLANET offers practical options for creating suitable lighting conditions in reptile terrariums.

How to Choose the Right Terrarium Lighting
Light, UVB radiation and heat serve different purposes in a reptile's habitat. When choosing lighting equipment, consider the species' needs, enclosure size and proper lamp placement.
- UVB lighting for reptiles: Supports vitamin D3 production and calcium metabolism. UVB intensity and lamp distance should match the specific species' requirements.
- Daylight and heat lamps: Help maintain a natural day-night cycle or create basking areas where reptiles can regulate their body temperature.
- Lamp fixtures and accessories: Keep bulbs securely mounted, direct light where needed and help position heat sources safely inside the terrarium.
For specialised terrarium lighting, EXOTERRA offers UVB bulbs, daylight lamps and compatible lamp fixtures. Choosing the right combination helps create lighting conditions suited to the natural needs of each reptile species.
