Reptile Systems T5 fluorescent tube 12% UVB, UVI 4.1, Ferguson Zone 3

Reptile Systems T5 fluorescent tube 12% UVB, UVI 4.1, Ferguson Zone 3

  • HO-T5 fluorescent tube for reptiles: 12% UVB - 4.1 UV index (Ferguson Zone 3)
  • Full spectrum lamp, produces excellent natural colors
  • For vitamin D3 synthesis
  • Improves feeding and breeding behavior

This fluorescent tube will only work when used with devices that contain a suitable T5 electronic ballast. For best results, the fluorescent tube should be replaced after one year of normal use.

The fluorescent tube was designed to replicate the profile of sunlight as closely as possible. As a full spectrum lamp with a balanced amount of UVA and UVB, it also has excellent natural color rendering. The need for high-quality UV lighting is also well known so that reptiles can produce vitamin D3 through UV radiation. This process is self-regulating and vital for reptiles to absorb calcium from their diet and thus eliminate the risk of various bone diseases. minimize.

The most modern and informed way to determine your reptile's UV needs is to use Ferguson Zones. These zones are divided into UV requirements and natural care characteristics for the selected species. Select the appropriate zone where you find your pet on the map, or an animal that behaves very similarly to your pet, and you will find the right lighting unit your pet needs.

Ferguson zones for reptiles

Zone 1: UV index 0.7 - 1.4
Animals that are nocturnal or Those who are active at dusk and tend to stay in the shade, e.g.:

Rhampholeon /Pygmy Chameleon / Rhompholeon
Red Foot Tortoise / Chelonoidis carbonaria

Zone 3: UV index 2.9 - 7.4
Animals that sunbathe regularly and in full sun for thermoregulation, but preferably in the morning and evening hours, e.g.:
Frilled Lizard / Chlamydosaurus kingii
Yemen Chameleon / Yemen Chameleon / Chamaeleo calyptratus
Leopard tortoise / Leopard fortoise / Stigmochelys pardalis

Zone 4: UV index 4.5 - 8.0
