Exo Terra Reptile UVB 200 Tube

The Exo Terra Reptile UVB 200 Tube is a high-output T8 fluorescent lamp built specifically for desert-dwelling and other diurnal reptiles that require intense ultraviolet exposure. At 14W and 15 inches, this tube is engineered to replicate the unfiltered, high-UVB sunlight found in open arid environments — conditions that standard reptile lamps simply cannot match.

Built for High-UV Species

Desert reptiles such as uromastyx, agamids, and tortoises are exposed to direct, unfiltered sunlight in the wild — some of the highest natural UVB levels of any reptile habitat. This tube is designed to meet those demands, producing a significantly elevated Vitamin D3 yield index that supports calcium metabolism and helps prevent metabolic bone disease.

Extended UVB Penetration

The output characteristics of this tube make it well suited to taller vivariums or enclosures fitted with denser mesh screens, which can block a proportion of UVB before it reaches the animal. Where other tubes may fall short at depth, this lamp maintains meaningful UVB levels further into the enclosure.

Flexible Placement

The 15-inch format allows this tube to span across multiple smaller terrariums when mounted on a shared rack or shelf system, making it a practical option for keepers managing several enclosures side by side.
