Zoo Med Naturalistic Terrarium Hood 30 cm

If you are setting up or upgrading lighting in a naturalistic terrarium and need a tidy way to mount UV and heat lamps, this terrarium hood is made to fit 30 cm wide naturalistic enclosures and accept compact fluorescent and reptile bulbs. It is intended for use with the Zoo Med ReptiSun 5.0 UVB compact fluorescent lamp to provide both UVB and UVA, and it also accepts Zoo Med daylight blue and nightlight red reptile bulbs for daytime and continuous heat options.

Using the ReptiSun 5.0 in this hood gives a practical UV source when positioned at an appropriate distance from basking areas, which is important for diurnal reptiles that require controlled UV lighting. The daylight blue bulb supplies visible daytime heat and improves viewing, while the red nightlight offers low-intensity overnight warmth without strong white light – use it only when low-level nocturnal heat is needed. The hood’s energy efficient classification helps keep running costs lower in compact setups.
