Description
Sun-Glow Coil Lantern - Reptile and amphibian behaviors are directly tied to their light cycle. Under natural conditions, sunlight provides ultraviolet radiation, visible light and heat. Ultraviolet light is required by diurnal (daytime) reptiles and amphibians to stimulate the synthesis of vitamin D, which facilitates the absorption of calcium in the intestine. Animals that cannot absorb calcium can develop metabolic bone disease, which can lead to muscle weakness, bone fractures and death. Available in both 5.0 UVB and 10.0 UVB
