The lamp should be replaced every 12 months (one year) to ensure optimal UVB output for your reptile.
The lamp should be positioned 15-20 inches above the reptile's basking spot. Adjust the height according to the species' specific requirements.
Using a T5 reflector is highly recommended as it directs the UVB light downwards, maximizing the effectiveness within the enclosure.
This lamp is primarily designed for desert reptiles, like Bearded Dragons. It is best to research the specific UVB needs of your reptile species.
The lamp has a color temperature of 6,500K, which mimics natural daylight conditions.
Regularly wipe the lamp and fixture with a damp cloth to remove dust and debris. Always unplug the fixture before cleaning.
Consult a veterinarian immediately. Ensure the reptile has adequate UVB exposure and access to calcium and Vitamin D3 supplements as recommended by your vet.
Replacement lamps are available at most pet stores and online retailers specializing in reptile supplies.
Check the power connection to the fixture. Ensure the lamp is properly inserted into the fixture. Try replacing the lamp with a new one to determine if the lamp is faulty.
Verify the distance between the lamp and the basking spot. Ensure the lamp is providing sufficient UVB light. Consult a veterinarian if the reptile continues to show signs of illness.
