Model of nature: 
Terrarium animals are as change warm animals, which are strongly dependent on light, especially on the quality and intensity of light. Activity, food intake, digestion or rest phases are influenced by the alternation of day and night and by light intensity. Depending on the light source, there are differences in the yield and quality of light. 

In addition, many terrarium animals associate light with warmth at the same time and seek out bright spots in the terrarium to „bask“. This is especially important to consider when heating desert terrariums. Depending on the light source used, there are differences in light output and quality of light. Fluorescent tubes, for example, provide a lot of light with little heat, while incandescent lamps convert most of the absorbed energy into heat and only a small amount into light. 

Terrarium animals require more or less UV light for their well-being, depending on their origin. UV-B stimulates vitamin D3 synthesis from the precursor vitamin D2. UV-A stimulates pigmentation. It is essential to note that glass intercepts about 50% of UV radiation and lamps should therefore always be installed inside the terrarium. 

For terrarium animals that require sunlight, UV light (i.e. are diurnal) and heat, the JBL UV Spot Plus is ideal. It provides a sun-like full spectrum including UV-A and UV-B radiation as well as heat output for the terrarium. After switching off the lamp, the temperature in the terrarium is thus reduced, which is equivalent to a desired night-time temperature reduction. 

With high terrariums, it is important that the animals can approach the UV Spot so that they also receive sufficient UV radiation.
