Zoo Med Aquatic Turtle UVB & Heat Lighting Kit

Introduction

The Zoo Med Aquatic Turtle UVB & Heat Lighting Kit is a complete dual-lamp system designed to create a healthy and natural basking environment for aquatic turtles. Combining focused heat and essential UVB radiation, it supports proper thermoregulation, vitamin D3 synthesis, and calcium metabolism. This kit is ideal for promoting shell and bone health while encouraging natural basking behaviours in species such as red-eared sliders, painted turtles, and map turtles.
