Please note that glass usually blocks UV rays and for this reason all UV bulbs must be inside the terrarium. Only in this way can the bulb ensure proper emission of UVA and UVB beams. Birds and reptiles, unlike humans, have the appropriate receptors for receiving the ultraviolet range.

The lack of the range of UV rays in the lighting provided to our charges is often underestimated by caregivers, because, as mentioned, a person cannot perceive this light and focuses on lighting in the range of visible light for himself. In the case of reptiles, ultraviolet is necessary not only for the synthesis of vitamin D3, but also allows animals to search for food, recognize the environment and sexual partners
