Zoo Med ReptiSun T5 HO Terrarium Hood with 5.0 UVB Bulb, 36 in

High-Output UVB Lighting for Reptile Terrariums

The Zoo Med ReptiSun T5 HO Terrarium Hood is a low-profile lighting solution designed to hold one T5 HO High Output linear fluorescent lamp. Built for standard terrarium setups, the 36-inch hood sits cleanly on top of the enclosure without adding unnecessary height, keeping your reptile habitat functional and accessible.

A built-in reflector channels visible light and UVB deeper into the terrarium, improving coverage across the enclosure floor and mid-levels. The included ReptiSun T5 HO 5.0 UVB lamp means your lighting setup is complete right out of the box. A convenient on/off switch provides straightforward daily control without additional accessories.

The ReptiSun Terrarium Hood line is also available in 20-inch, 30-inch, and 48-inch widths to accommodate a range of terrarium sizes. Sold individually.

Quick Product Snapshot

Design and Construction Breakdown

The ReptiSun T5 HO Hood uses a low-profile housing that keeps the overall terrarium footprint compact. The integrated reflector directs light downward and inward, increasing the effective UVB and visible light coverage across the enclosure. The T5 HO lamp format produces higher output than standard T8 fluorescent lamps, making it well-suited for terrariums where consistent UVB reach across the habitat floor is a priority.

Setup and Compatibility Guidance

The 36-inch hood is designed to rest on top of standard terrarium enclosures. The built-in on/off switch provides direct control for basic daily operation. The included ReptiSun T5 HO 5.0 UVB lamp is ready to install and use immediately. For replacement lamps or alternative UVB outputs, Zoo Med offers compatible T5 HO bulbs separately. The ReptiSun Hood line is also available in 20-inch, 30-inch, and 48-inch widths for other terrarium sizes.

Care and Maintenance

• Replace the UVB lamp on a regular schedule to maintain effective UVB output over time
• Wipe the hood exterior and reflector surface with a dry or lightly damp cloth as needed
• Inspect the lamp and connections periodically to ensure consistent performance
