Quartz glass bulbs should not be touched with bare hands as the oils of the skin will significantly shorten the life of the bulb or cause it to shatter.

A Walk on the Wild Side

Zoo Med makes it their mission to provide reptiles and other exotic pets with the very best food, supplements and habitats. This company of passionate hobbyists knows that not all pets are furry with four paws and offers a true understanding of reptiles, amphibians, fish and invertebrates. Whether you're new to reptile care and fishkeeping or are an experienced breeder, Zoo Med covers it all.

An Exotic Diet for an Exotic Pet

When it comes to your pet's dinner, the menu consists of worms, crickets and snails galore. Zoo Med offers a wide range of nutritious and tasty food to feed every exotic pet a special diet that's made just for them.

TURTLES AND TORTOISES: From treats to whole diets, Zoo Med provides a nutritional boost to fit any turtle or tortoise want or need.

LIZARDS: For pets like bearded dragons, there's a selection of tasty options, including cans of mealies, grasshoppers and caterpillars and complete pellet diets.

FISH: Your tropical fish enjoys a treat every now and then, and Zoo Med offers a tasty variety to choose from.

FROGS: Including high-protein, sinking pellets that mimic what frogs would eat in the wild, this frog food is just what you need to keep your amphibian jumping.

Give Him an Extra Boost

Because any pet could benefit from a little extra care, Zoo Med makes supplements that will help fortify your exotic pet's health and environment. Feeding him a supplement, in addition to his healthful meal, can be the extra step that it takes to keep your frog, lizard, turtle or fish happy and healthy.

Rest, Relax and Thrive

Every exotic pet needs a place to call their own, and Zoo Med makes it easy to keep them comfortable and thriving.

will this work for my red eared slider turtle in a 20 gallon tank

Answer by Chewy • Mar 13, 2019
This lamp is suitable for turtles and tortoises. It stimulates sunlight and helps them develop strong and healthy shells.

Is this good for a frog?

Answer by Chewy • Aug 07, 2019
This bulb is suitable for some frogs, however, pet owners should take cage size, frog species, and humidity needs into consideration while making a decision on the right bulb for them.

This is the same bulb that is sometimes sold as ZooMed's Avian bulb- at a fraction of the cost! I have used these for years with doves, and my new conure seem to like it as well and perches under it for a good portion of the day. Make sure to do your research on positioning the bulb the proper distance from the cage!

It was what I expected and very fair business transaction

Maintenance equipment/supplies - no reaction from animals. This is my job, I take it seriously, and I like to have fun and enrichment with the animals when possible

Little guy seems to approve

Produces light and very minimal heat. I was hoping for precisely this. I assume there is some good UVB going on for my snake, though I of course can't see that.

Reptilight is small

I needed a new light for my bearded dragon’s cage and ordered this. It is ok but much smaller than the light it had. I didn’t read that it is compact so I hope
