🦎Bearded dragons in the wild rely on natural sunlight to stay healthy and because natural sunlight emits both UVA and UVB… bearded dragons in captivity need both UVA and UVB!
💥Now, the difference between the two is that UVA can essentially be transmitted from any light bulb, whereas UVB has to come from a special UVB bulb.
🌟So, while your dragon is most likely getting adequate levels of UVA from their basking light alone, you will need a special UVB bulb to make sure their UVB needs are met.
💡UVB bulbs are a special type of bulb that will emit the shorter UVB rays needed by your dragon to be able to produce Vitamin D3 and absorb calcium.
🌞A proper bearded dragon lighting setup is going to ensure there is both heat and UVB within their tank.
Now that you know just how important Uvb is, below are ⚠️2 of The Best UVB Bulbs for Bearded Dragons (Fluorescent Only)⚠️
(Fluorescent bulbs will simply supply UVB for your bearded dragon, so you’ll still need a basking bulb as well!)
-⚠️Repti-Sun 10.0 UVB (Fluorescent Light)⚠️This is without a doubt, one of the most trusted if not THE most trusted UVB bulb on the market right now for bearded dragons.
-⚠️Zilla UVB Fluorescent Bulb 18 Inch⚠️. Not as popular as the Repti-Sun above, though still a viable option, this UVB bulb from Zilla is a good option for those looking to provide adequate levels of UVB to their bearded dragon, especially if they are in a smaller sized tank.
