Mercury Vapor Bulb

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.

MINIMUM Distance of 12" produces 150-200 microwatts per square centimeter (uW/cm2) of UVB and 900-1200uW/cm2 of UVA.

MAXIMUM Distance of 20" produces 50-75 microwatts per square centimeter (uW/cm2) of UVB.

IMPORTANT: Bulb should be tested for UVB output every six months and replaced every twelve months. Not to be used with enclosures smaller than 40 gallon (18” minimum height).

OPTIMAL RANGE: 12” - 20”

Easy read
Format: Paperback
I purchased it for school of course. I’m also taking Psych and Med Surg lll right now. I’ll say that knowing I had to read this book was a big turn off for me as I only wanted to focus on the other courses I felt were more important and thought this book/ class was of no need. Now that I’m a week out from my first exam and have to play catch up on 5 chapters, lol, I will say the book is written in a way that what they’re conveying comes off as quite interesting. There’s no boredom to it at all. So I’d say kudos to the writer… because they did their big one!

I was sent an old used book instead of a new book that I ordered
Format: Paperback
I ordered a new full-price book but instead got a plastic ripped open book with an online access code missing on the inside. I could not return or ask for a replacement because of homework deadlines.
