Reptile Heat Lamp, Timing & Dimming Basking Lamp for Reptile Turtle Lizard Snake

Reptiles are ectotherms, meaning they rely on external sources of heat to maintain their body temperature. As pets, it is the caretaker's responsibility to provide them with the appropriate heating. UVA and UVB light are both crucial for reptile health. UVA light provides warmth and the comfort of sunlight, allowing them to regulate their metabolism, breed, and support their immune system. UVB light is essential for the production of vitamin D3, which is necessary for turtles to metabolize calcium. Without sufficient UVB light, turtles can suffer from metabolic bone diseases that are painful and often fatal. Turtles also need UVB light to properly digest their food, as without it, they can suffer from malnutrition and die.
