Arcadia D3 6% Light

Brand: Arcadia

Product Code: 11065

Arcadia D3 Reptile lights, supplied by 123 Aquatics, supply much needed UV light for long-term health and development of you reptiles.

In its natural environment, a reptile has exposure to direct light from the sun, which as well as being composed of the visual light that we are familiar with, also has a significant content of ultra-violet light.

This UV energy is an important factor, as it drives a chemical reaction in the skin, which results in the formation of vitamin D3, without which calcium metabolism cannot occur correctly, and the skeleton of the animal cannot develop correctly.

When a captive reptile is not exposed to DIRECT sunlight, then the resulting lack of vitamin D3 can cause the bones to become weak and mis-shapen.

Other hard structures, such as scales, claws, and the carapace of tortoises or turtles would also be adversely affected without sunlight.

The Arcadia reptile lamp range has been created in order to allow reptiles and other exotic pets to be maintained without the health problems related to poor calcium metabolism.

The Arcadia D3 Reptile Light 6% is ideal for forest species, such as the Day Gecko or reptiles and amphibians who require a lower level of UVA and UVB radiation.

This is a linear bulb and will fit Starter Units.
