This bulb does not produce UVB.

As poikilotherms, reptiles are extremely dependent on having access to a sun-like source of heat where they can warm their bodies as needed to regulate their metabolism. The purpose of a basking lamp is to simulate the heat produced by the sun and thus support reptiles' thermoregulatory needs. Both diurnal and nocturnal reptiles should have access to a heat lamp and basking temperatures appropriate to their species.

The Exo Terra Daylight Basking Spot is a narrow-beam spot lamp. For best results, use a cluster of multiple bulbs placed close together to evenly heat your reptile's body, promoting even circulation and optimal thermoregulation. Due to this bulb’s petite size, this is best used for heating, particularly in small terrariums.

We recommend using this bulb with the Exo Terra Reptile Dome Nano.

The Exo Terra Nano Daylight Basking Spot is a narrow-beam spot lamp. For best results, use at a distance of at least 4" to prevent the development of dangerous hot spots which may burn your reptile. For species longer than 8" snout to vent length, or 8" coiled diameter, we recommend using a cluster of multiple bulbs placed close together. This more evenly heats your reptile's body, promoting even circulation and optimal thermoregulation!
