A T5 UVB reptile bulb designed to deliver moderate ultraviolet exposure for reptiles that experience both sunlight and shaded areas in their natural habitat. The Exo Terra UVB200 VHO T5 Bulb provides balanced UVB levels that support healthy vitamin D3 production, helping reptiles properly absorb calcium and maintain strong bones and overall health.

This Very High Output (VHO) T5 bulb produces approximately 7% UVB, making it ideal for reptiles that are partial or occasional baskers living in environments with mixed light and shade. The UVB200 helps replicate natural sunlight conditions found in semi-sunlit habitats while encouraging natural basking behaviour and activity in the terrarium.

In addition to UVB, the bulb emits beneficial UVA light, which can help stimulate appetite, activity, and natural behaviours in reptiles. The high-output T5 design also provides stronger UV penetration than traditional T8 bulbs, making it suitable for larger or taller terrariums when used with a compatible T5 fixture.

When paired with an appropriate T5 High Output reptile fixture, the Exo Terra UVB200 helps create a stable lighting environment that supports healthy metabolism, proper thermoregulation, and long-term reptile wellbeing.
