Zoo Med Mini Desert UVB Lighting Combo

Many desert reptiles require UVB, which is an essential wavelength found in sunlight. UVB is critical to helping your pet’s bones stay healthy and strong, and plays a role in a variety of other essential functions.

The Zoo Med Desert UVB Lighting Combo Pack includes:

• Mini Deep Dome Lamp Fixture
• ReptiSun 10.0 Mini Compact Fluorescent (13 w)

This lamp works best with small terrariums 8-12" tall, for reptiles with moderate UVB requirements. For larger enclosures, we recommend the more powerful Zoo Med T5 HO Reptisun 10.0.

Lamp diameter: 5.5"
