WE SAY: The quality of Exo Terra equipment can't really be questioned. You know you can use it with confidence. The Repti Glo 10 has a high 10% UV output suitable for recreating the desert environment. Meets the UV needs of animals such as Desert Tortoises (e.g. the Leopard Tortoise) and Bearded Dragons. 

MANUFACTURER SAYS: High quality fluorescent tube emitting 10% UVB. This tube is ideal for reptiles, amphibia and other exotics with a high need for UV exposure to ensure significant synthesis of vitamin D3. It would suit organisms adapted to a desert environment. It could be used in conjunction with the Repti-Glo 2.0 tube which would improve vivarium display and simulate natural light. It is advised that tubes producing UVB wavelengths of light are replaced annually due to reduction in effectiveness over this time period.
