UV Lighting
Ultra Violet (UV) lighting is essential for tortoises. UV light of the correct intensity is required to effectively metabolise vitamin D3 which is essential for the absorption of calcium. A good intake of calcium is necessary for shell growth and replenishment regardless of age. However it is particularly important for juvenile growing tortoises and egg-laying females for healthy hatchlings.
Exo Terra Repti Glo 5.0 - UVB 5% Light Tube
Indoor UV Unit
Unit for use with the Repti Glo 5.0, UVB 5% Light Tubes or similar tubes. Using the correct wattage light unit to match your tube or larger is important to prevent overheating.
Outdoor Waterproof UV Unit
Suitable for outdoor use with the All-Season Houses or other outdoor shelters throughout the year to compensate for the lower intensity of sunlight in the UK. Recommended for all species of tortoise but particularly important for sub-tropical and african tortoises. The Polycarbonate diffuser (clear plastic cover) is UV transparent to guarantee maximum efficiency whilst still waterproof.
Outdoor Tortoise Runs
The outdoor tortoise runs are secure and accessible with premium wood frame meshed sides and removable meshed tops. The outdoor tortoise runs have solid tongue and groove wood cladding around the base to reduce your tortoise's natural instinct to try to escape. Rabbit runs as are not suitable because if your tortoise can see through mesh it will try to get through it and may hurt themselves or get stressed as a consequence. In comparison to the rabbit runs, they are heavier in weight. The planed smooth wood used and plastic coated mesh is of high quality. The quality of the materials increases the security of the enclosure. The tops of the enclosures are removable and can be secured with hasp and staples. Hasp and Staples and padlocks are provided on request (additional charge). Stain colour may vary. Price includes delivery.
