ACTIVE UVB HEAT LAMP 

By Active UV-Heat

This lamp emits Ultraviolet (A & B) rays as well as visible light and heat. They project a beam of light and heat. No fixture, ballast or reflector is needed. Your animal should always be able to either bask in the light or move out of its beam. The Flood Lights should be approximately 12" to 18" away from the animal and the Spot Lights 24" to 30".

REPTISUN 5.0


   Recent tests at the Boston University School of Medicine show that Zoo Med's Reptisun 5.0 UVB and Iguana Light 5.0 UVB bulbs induce 7-DHC conversion to Pre-vitamin D3 at a rate 23 times greater than the next leading UVB reptile bulb!
  
Wavelength penetrates a full 10-12" from bulb's surface. Bulbs last a minimum of one year before diminishing wavelength. (Replace Bulb at 1 to 1 1/2 years.)

 TIMERS AND THERMOMETERS

These are  MUST HAVE items. Cheap timers like the one on the left work great for most uses. I use the digital timer on the bottom for my misting system. it is more accurate on short times (4 - 5 minutes). The others do great for turning lights and humidifiers off and on .The thermometer pictured on the bottom is a Radio Shack model. I have seen similar products in Wal-mart for $15.00. It gives you humidity and two temperature readings PLUS it stores the high and low, which is great for long term monitoring. Well worth the extra money go to Wal-mart, Home Depot, or Radio Shack to purchase.
