Lugarti's Mercury Vapor BulbOne of the most critical factors in caring for reptiles in captivity is providing them with proper heating and lighting. UVA light promotes basking and feeding behavior, stimulates healthy activity levels and boosts reproduction. UVB light regulates the synthesis of Vitamin D3 in reptiles skin and allows them to properly absorb and metabolize calcium, ensuring healthy bones and normal muscle function.

One of the most critical factors in caring for reptiles in captivity is providing them with proper heating and lighting. UVA light promotes basking and feeding behavior, stimulates healthy activity levels and boosts reproduction. UVB light regulates the synthesis of Vitamin D3 in reptiles’ skin and allows them to properly absorb and metabolize calcium, ensuring healthy bones and normal muscle function. Heat is required for proper digestion, excretion of waste, metabolism and circulation.
Without vitamin D3 and calcium, reptiles may develop hypocalcemia (twitching and muscle spasms) as well as metabolic bone disease (MBD).
Lugarti’s MVB3 is a self-ballasted mercury vapor bulb designed to provide reptiles that spend many hours a day exposed to high levels of sunshine with beneficial UVA, UVB and Heat, all in one bulb.
