Essential Reptile Supplies

There are several basic reptile supplies that almost all pets will need in their enclosures to keep them in optimum health.

UV Lighting

Reptiles see light differently to us, and so it is important to provide them with the light that they need. All too often aquarium or terrarium lighting is provided to please the owner rather than to cater for the pet's needs. Correct lighting can reduce stress, improve health and make your animal as happy as it can be.

UVA rays are not only visible to reptiles but is central to how they see their world. To keep your pet reptile happy, UVA light is a must. All UVB lamps emit UVA light, but the reverse is not true.

UVB lighting is essential for proper calcium absorption and immune system functioning, though it is invisible to people.

Turtle Aquarium Gear

A quality aquarium pump is an essential part of keeping your turtle tank clean with the least amount of work.

The pump needs to be matched to a very efficient fish tank filter. Choosing the right filter will reduce your workload considerably.
