UVB is a set of ultraviolet wavelengths produced by sunlight. These wavelengths are responsible for stimulating the synthesis of vitamin D3 in vertebrates, a vitamin that is essential to animal wellbeing. In captivity, it is best practice to replicate sunlight through the use of UVB lighting appropriate to the animal's ecological niche.

The Exo Terra Reptile UVB100 is a compact coil fluorescent bulb designed to produce a very high quantity of UVB, similar to what's present in hot, sunny environments such as deserts.
