Reptiles can’t absorb calcium from their diet unless they have a steady supply of vitamin D3, which they get from a UVB lamp. Check out our full article for all the details on making sure your pet gets their daily calcium intake.

Wow, I really loved the detailed breakdown on why UVB lighting is crucial for reptiles! It’s fascinating how calcium and vitamin D3 are intertwined with their health. I’m curious, how do you think inadequate UVB exposure might affect a reptile’s long-term behavior or even social interactions—in captivity versus in the wild? Also, have any of you noticed changes in your pets since adjusting their lighting? It’d be interesting to hear personal experiences as these factors seem so vital for their well-being! 🦎✨ @Roblox Games
