Without UVB, turtles cannot produce vitamin D3, calcium absorption fails, and soft shells and metabolic bone disease follow. The Repti Tuff halogen is built to shrug off the splashes that crack ordinary basking bulbs, and the ReptiSun 5.0 delivers 5% UVB and 30% UVA output.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 style=\"margin:14px 0 4px;font-size:1.05em;font-weight:600;line-height:1.25;border-left:4px solid #666;padding-left:8px;\"\u003eHow to Use\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInstall both bulbs in standard ceramic socket fixtures rated for their wattage.
