Product name : Reptarium
Code : PT2550
Size available : 22 GAL, 14.5 x 14.5 x 25"

The Exo Terra Flexarium's open-air concept provides optimal ventilation - very important for a number of reptile species (e.g. Chameleons). The nylon mesh allows ultraviolet rays from fluorescent UVB lights or the sun to penetrate deep inside the enclosure. Due to the strong nylon mesh and durable construction, the Flexarium can also be used as a permanent outdoor enclosure in warmer climates or as a temporary enclosure during sunny and warmer days in colder climates. The Exo Terra Flextray (sold separately) can be used to hold substrate and/or contain liquids inside the enclosure.

Size available : Small 7''x 5.5''x 4.3''

● Complete cricket care kit

● Removable, well-ventilated lid

● Easy cricket dispenser

● Includes cricket food and water bowl

● Makes cricket feeding neat & tidy

The Exo Terra Cricket Pen is ideal for housing, keeping and dispensing live crickets. Crickets prefer dark spaces, and will readily crawl into the tubes which provide hiding places for them, making it easy to use the tubes as dispensing tools. The tubes remain in position when the lid is removed, allowing easy access and less chance of cricket escape.

Tip:

To keep your crickets alive longer “gut load” or provide a slice of apple for food!

Holds up to 50 adult crickets

To feed, remove one of the dispensers

Tap the dispenser to feed the crickets

Self-closing dispenser holes

Easy top access Feeding and drinking dishes included

Directions for Use

Use as cricket carrier or holding pen. Simply slide the tube out of the Exo Terra Cricket Pen and drop the flapper down to prevent escapes. If needed, cover the tube opening with one hand while transporting it to the terrarium or feeder. Remove your hand and lightly tap on the tube to release the appropriate number of crickets for feeding. Only one tube should be removed at a time to avoid crickets escaping. Cricket Care

Crickets should be kept in a well-ventilated room at a temperature range between 21-23 °C (70-75 °F) with low humidity. Keep the cricket pen out of direct sunlight and cold drafts. Always keep the cricket pen clean and dry. High quality cricket food and water (gel) should be provided at all times, both of which should be offered in the shallow food and water dishes provided. If water gel is not available, a moist sponge may be used. Do not use water only as the crickets may drown.

Cleaning Instructions

It is necessary to clean the unit regularly. Remove all debris and waste and clean the entire unit with hot tap water. Never use soap or detergent as it may leave a residue that can be harmful or even deadly to the crickets.

Product name : Repti Glo 5.0

Code : PT2187

Watt : 26W

The advantage of the Exo Terra Repti Glo Compact Fluorescent bulb is its size and the fact that it is self-ballasted. A regular screw fitting is sufficient to operate these bulbs. The spiral shape of the bulb enables vertical or horizontal mounting without compromising performance.

It is recommended to combine a high UVB output (Repti Glo 5.0 and 10.0) with a very high visual light output (Repti Glo 2.0) for optimal results. Fluorescent bulbs do not provide sufficient heat. A separate heat source is required in addition (ex: incandescent basking lamp).

* Ideal for all tropical and sub-tropical reptiles

* High UVB output

* Effective up to 30 cm (12")

* Provides necessary UVB rays for optimal calcium metabolism

* Stimulates appetite, activity and reproductive behaviour through UVA radiation

* Recommended in combination with Repti Glo 2.0 for a higher visual light output

The Exo Terra Repti Glo 5.0 has a moderate to high UVB output, similar to that of shady environments such as rain forests and other tropical locations. Reptiles living in these habitats receive less UV radiation because of the many climatological conditions (fairly high humidity, changes in weather, etc) that prevent direct sunlight from reaching them or their basking sites. To fit our range of fluorescent bulbs, both linear and compact, Exo Terra developed a complete line of terrarium tops and linear fluorescent bulb controllers. Almost all of these fluorescent fixtures have multiple fittings to enable a combination of different Repti Glo bulbs in order to simulate any micro habitat suitable for a specific species. The Exo Terra Compact Tops (PT2225 / PT2226 / PT2227 / PT2229) are perfectly suited for the Exo Terra Compact Bulbs.

Product name : Porcelain Clamp Reflector

Code : PT2054

Size : Medium 8.5"

The Exo Terra Glow Light gives you the versatility of placing heat and/or light sources on your terrarium where needed. The device is sturdily constructed, with a metal reflector, heat resistant ceramic socket, and a spring-loaded swivel clamp. It can be easily turned off and on by the switch, mounted on the extra long power cord. The inside of the reflector is coated with a highly reflective luminous coating that continues to glow long after the lamp is turned off. This allows diurnal reptiles and amphibians to retreat in their night burrow or hiding without stress. A moon-like glow enables nocturnal reptiles and amphibians to see properly without disturbing their night cycle. It is also ideal to monitor your animals during night time, without switching on the lights which can cause stress and disorientation.

* Day and night fixture in one

* Provides long-lasting luminous, reflective glow

* Heat resistant porcelain socket

* Ideal for use with compact fluorescent and incandescent bulbs

* Prevents stress

* Ideal for nocturnal viewing

This multi-purpose fixture fits a variety of screw-based bulbs; Sun Glo, Sun Glo Tight Beam, Sun Glo Neodymium, Sun Glo Halogen, Repti Glo Compact 2.0, 5.0 & 10.0, Heat Glo, Solar Glo 125W, etc. The coating reflects the otherwise wasted light rays and stores the light energy during daytime and slowly releases it at night, which makes this fixture more energy efficient then conventional fixtures. No need to add an additional night bulb, unless used as a heating source.

Product name : Sun Glo Halogen

Code : PT2182

Watt : 75W

Halogen bulbs are actually an advanced variation of incandescent bulb technology. One of the major factors that shorten an incandescent bulb's lifespan is the evaporation of the tungsten within the bulb. By adding a trace amount of a halogen gas (methyl bromide) inside the bulb, a chemical reaction removes the tungsten from the wall of the glass and deposits it back onto the filament, extending the life of the bulb. The higher temperatures of halogen lighting contribute to a whiter light, a higher light output and a greater efficiency.

* Highly energy efficient broad-spectrum daylight bulb

* Optimizes heat penetration through increased infrared levels

* Enriches colouration through Neodymium

* Stimulates breeding behaviour and physiological well-being through UVA rays

* Can be combined with Night Glo or Heat Glo for a 24-hour cycle

The Exo Terra Glow Light (PT2052 / PT2054 / PT2056) is perfectly suited for the Exo Terra Sun Glo Halogen.

Product name : Monsoon RS400 Misting System

Code : PT2495

* Monsoon remote control PT2496 sold in separately.

● Programmable rainfall unit for terrariums and greenhouses

● Easy to install on any type of terrarium or greenhouse

● Multiple nozzle applications (up to 6!)

● Large 4 liter (1 gallon) reservoir

The Exo Terra Monsoon RS400 is a programmable rainfall system suitable for all types of terrariums and greenhouses. It helps maintain optimal humidity by generating precipitation at programmed intervals, the duration and frequency of which can be easily adjusted depending on the type of animal or plant housed. Frequent rainfall helps stimulate breeding behaviour, and is a necessity when housing live tropical plants such as Bromeliads, orchids, mosses, etc.

The system can be programmed to rain multiple times per 24-hour cycle, for time periods ranging from one second to two hours. The large 4 liter (1 gallon) reservoir ensures continuous operation for several days without the need for refilling (ideal for vacations!), and the reservoir can be easily replenished without needing to uninstall the entire system.

The Exo Terra Monsoon RS400 comes with two easy-to-install nozzles, but the system can be extended to accommodate up to 6 nozzles, making it ideal for multiple terrariums. The rain produced by these specially designed nozzles is extremely fine, creating a mist-like effect in the terrarium or greenhouse, and the extra long tubing makes it possible to conceal the unit in a storage area or under the terrarium in a cabinet.

1.)Flexible spray nozzles can be pointed in any direction.

2.)Easy to install tubing; fits through the closeable wire/tube inlets (featured on all Exo Terra Terrariums).

3.)Easy to connect and install.

4.)Sloping Top: makes filling water reservoir easier

__________________________________________________________

Unlike 10 years ago, when the knowledge of this subject was minimal, we now know the requirements of most species kept in captivity. In order to provide reptiles the best possible lighting solution Exo Terra has tweaked all spectrums and added several new bulbs based on recent research.

No longer should anyone rely on the old 5.0 and 10.0 UVB principle, as these fictive numbers only vaguely indicate the UVB output of the bulb ranging between 280-320nm.The wavelength that is responsible for vitamin D3 photosynthesis however, ranges from 290 to 310 nm with a peak production at 294nm. The UVB range below 290nm is undesirable, and can even be harmful, while radiation above 310nm destroys vitamin D3. The positive effects of UVB lighting for your reptile also depend on many other factors, such as whether the bulbs are correctly sited, changed regularly and turned on for a sufficient number of hours.

Exo Terra's new lighting range utilizes a unique new rating system.

In just three easy steps, it will help you determine which bulb is right for your animal. First, check your animal’s star rating on the UV index chart below. Secondly, check your existing set-up for the average basking distance. Thirdly, compare the animal rating and bulb positioning height with those featured on the bulb packaging. If these match, you found the right Exo Terra bulb for your reptile!

ABOUT ULTRAVIOLET LIGHT

Ultraviolet radiation only counts for about 3% of the solar energy that reaches the Earth’s surface. It is situated in the high energy portion of the electromagnetic spectrum, just beyond visible light.

Ultraviolet radiation is divided into three wavelength groups:

UVA - Long wave ultraviolet A, ranges from 320-400 nm and is significant for reptile vision and wellbeing

UVB - Medium wave ultraviolet B, ranges from 290-320 nm and is required for metabolic processes

UVC - Short wave ultraviolet C, ranges from 180-290 nm and is dangerous to all living organisms

It has been demonstrated that reptiles can see into the ultraviolet range (300-400 nm), especially in the longwave UVA range. It affects the way reptiles see things (Click here for more information).

Ultraviolet B or UVB is an important element of sunlight for reptiles. In the wild, most reptiles synthesize their vitamin D3 from the UVB component of sunlight. Vitamin D3 is essential for the effective metabolism of dietary calcium in reptiles. UVB reacts with the precursor of vitamin D, 7-dehydrocholesterol, in the skin to produce pro-vitamin D3. Depending on heat and the aid of a mechanism in the skin, pro-vitamin D3 is converted into vitamin D3 itself. The liver and kidneys transform vitamin D3 into its active form, a hormone (1,25, hydroxy-vitamin D) that regulates calcium metabolism.

Carnivorous and omnivorous reptiles get a high proportion of their vitamin D3 requirement from their food. However, plants do not contain D3 (cholecalciferol), instead they contain D2 (ergocalciferol), which is far less efficient in calcium metabolism than D3. Insects and invertabrates do not contain any vitamin D3 at all. Herbivorous and insectivorous reptiles are therefore far more dependent upon vitamin D3 synthesis than carnivorous specimens.

If inadequate levels of vitamin D3 are available, the animal will rapidly develop the condition known as Metabolic Bone Disease. In this condition, bone density suffers and various other serious metabolic problems occur. Symptoms include swelling, lethargy, general weakness, tremors and softening of the shell in turtles and tortoises. Next to a UVB light source, adequate levels of calcium must be present in the diet or must be provided by means of dietary supplementation. Juvenile reptiles are most at risk, although adults too can be affected if maintained in a state of deficiency for a long enough period. Egg laying females are also at great risk, due to the extra demands in calcium necessary for egg production. An excess of UVB can cause eye and skin damage, cancer and poor reproduction.

UVB is generally defined as the wavelength range from 290-320nm, but it is the range between 290-305 nm that is most important. Sufficient irradiation within this narrow sub-band of the UVB range is a requirement for the photosynthesis of vitamin D3 in skin. Although radiation below wavelengths of 310 nm promotes photosynthesis of vitamin D3, radiation above 310 nm destroys vitamin D3 that has been already synthesized in skin tissue or obtained nutritionally.

Some species can regulate the exposure to sunlight to protect themselves from the damaging effects of UVB. Season, time of the day and the environmental and body temperature have an influence on the exposure to the Sun and UVB. Many species also have physical adaptations to protect themselves from UVB damage to vital organs like darkly pigmented UVB-absorbing layers in the skin. UVB rays also contribute to a good working immune system and may stimulate psychological health through the production of beta-endorphins.
