Jiro UV ho an'ny sokatra: safidy sy fampiasana jiro ho an'ny aquarium sy terrarium misy sokatra mena sofina sy terestrialy

An ultraviolet (UV) lamp is a source of artificial ultraviolet light for pet turtles, obtained by applying a thin film of an optical light filter to glass.

Ny asan'ny ultraviolet

In the wild, turtles receive a dose of ultraviolet light from sunlight. At home, the pet is kept in a terrarium, so sunbathing is minimized. With a deficiency of ultraviolet radiation, the reptile:

• tara amin'ny fampandrosoana;
• mijaly noho ny fanalefahana ny akorandriaka sy ny taolana marefo;
• lasa mora voan'ny fahasimbana mekanika;
• mararin'ny rickets;
• atahorana ho very taranaka mandritra ny fitondrana vohoka.

The main reason for these disorders lies in the lack of cholecalciferol (vitamin D3), produced by the body under the influence of sunlight. It is responsible for the absorption of calcium – the main element of the bone structure.

Azia Afovoany sy ny sokatra hafa dia tsy afaka mahazo D3 amin'ny sakafo satria mihinana sakafo avy amin'ny zavamaniry izy ireo. Ny fanampin-tsakafo vitaminina tsy misy taratra ultraviolet dia tsy tafiditra amin'ny habetsahana mety amin'ny fahasalaman'ny sokatra. Ho an'ny sokatra anaty rano dia tsy dia manan-danja loatra ny jiro noho ny toetry ny sakafony. Ny biby mpiremby sofina mena dia mahazo D3 avy amin'ny atin'ny biby fihinany. Saingy, rehefa tazonina ao an-trano, ho an'ny sokatra an-tanety sy anaty rano, dia tsy maintsy misy jiro UV.

One UV lamp for a turtle is not enough, so other species must be installed in the terrarium and aquarium:

1. fanafanana. It is used to warm cold-blooded reptiles during the day. To maintain the required temperature, you can use a conventional incandescent lamp.
2. infrared. The main function of this lamp is heating. It does not give light, therefore it is used at night at low temperatures in the room.

Paramètre manankery

Artificial light is needed for the activity and health of turtles. Too low temperatures (<15°) can induce hibernation and reduce immunity, while too high (>40°) can cause death.

For a comfortable life of a pet, it is necessary to maintain the following temperature conditions:

• 23°-32° – an-tanety;
• 22°-28° – anaty rano.

The optimum temperature is achieved with 40-60 watt (W) lights and 100W water heaters (assuming a 100L aquarium).

For UV lamps, the power varies from 10 to 40W and depends on the length of the device. The longer the lamp, the more UV it emits.

In addition to power, it is necessary to take into account the value of UVA and UVB – ultraviolet rays that have different effects on the reptile’s body. The maximum allowable value of UVA, which is responsible for stimulating natural processes, is 30%, and the value of UVB, which promotes calcium absorption, depends on the type of turtle:

• mila jiro UVB 5 hatramin'ny 8% ny slider mena sofina;
• for land – not < 10 and not > 12% UVB.

IMPORTANT! During pregnancy and illness, UVB is increased to 8-12% even in aquatic reptiles.

Ny tena karazana jiro

For keeping terrestrial turtles, an ordinary incandescent lamp is enough, and for keeping aquatic turtles, a more powerful lamp (not <20W) is needed to heat the pool or an additional heater.

In addition to the classic “Ilyich’s light bulb”, the lighting in the terrarium and aquarium is regulated by:

1. jiro fitaratra. It differs from an incandescent bulb in directional lighting, which retains heat at a certain point due to the mirror coating.
2. jiro neodymium. In addition to lighting and heating, it is responsible for the contrast of colors, giving brightness and saturation to the color of reptiles. It is more expensive than other types, but has protection from water.
3. LED. LED backlighting is economical and durable, but loses to other types in terms of output power. It is difficult for her to warm up the terrarium and aquarium, but she can be used for aesthetic purposes, mixing red, green, blue and other available colors.

Among night lamps that do not give visible light, you can use:

• infrarouge;
• seramika, voaaro amin`ny hamandoana avo.

jiro UV

The ultraviolet lamp for aquariums and terrariums is available in 2 varieties – fluorescent and metal vapor.

Luminescent

According to the shape of the light bulb are divided into:

• Tubular. Thanks to the protective coating on the flask, ultraviolet is not dangerous for human and turtle eyes. The minimum diameter and maximum power are noted for expensive T5 models. The wide T8 model is cheaper, but inferior in quality.
• Mitambatra. They look like an ordinary incandescent lamp and are installed in the E27 base. They lose to tubular counterparts with a lower service life, which decreases due to frequent power surges.

Etona metaly

Together with the necessary dose of ultraviolet light, the lamp warms up the terrarium well, therefore it is suitable for land turtles as the only source of daylight. Unlike luminescent ones, they have a longer service life, reaching up to 1,5 years.

Marika jiro UV malaza indrindra

If you can buy an ordinary light bulb at any hardware store, then an ultraviolet light bulb will have to be purchased at a large pet store or ordered online.

The price of a UV lamp depends on:

1. Ilay mpanamboatra. The cheapest models are Chinese samples (Repti Zoo, Simple Zoo Bulk), and the most expensive ones are European (Narva, Sera, Arcadia, Namiba Terra) and American (ZooMed, Lucky Reptile).
2. Bika Aman 'endrika. Ny jiro fluorescent tery sy lava dia manana ny vidiny ambony indrindra.

On average, a UV lamp costs from 1 to 2 thousand rubles.

IMPORTANT! These brands have a line of lamps for both red-eared and Central Asian turtles.

Nuances ny safidy

Most ready-made terrariums are equipped with built-in lamps. In order to save money, they put 2 incandescent lamps, which are responsible exclusively for heating the reptile, so future owners have to buy an ultraviolet source on their own. In order to choose a high-quality and safe UV lamp for turtles, consider the following characteristics:

1. Power. Tokony ho eo anelanelan'ny 10 ka hatramin'ny 40W izany.
2. Length. Finding a turtle lamp that fits the size of an unpopular lamp is a daunting task. Long searches can be avoided by purchasing a device in sizes 45, 60, 90 and 120 cm.
3. spektrum taratra. Start from the type of reptile. Remember that the packaging always indicates the value of UVA and UBA. If the indicator is missed, then refuse the purchase. Otherwise, the turtle runs the risk of getting burned or left without the right dose of ultraviolet radiation.
4. Form. Choose a tubular form that is protected from power surges, or a more expensive metal-vapor design.
5. Brand name. Don’t try to save money in China. Due to the short lifespan, the lamp will have to be changed at least every six months. It is better to choose a higher quality model from America or Europe with a service life of up to 1 year.

Fitsipika momba ny trano fonenana

In order to correctly place the purchased lamps, consider the following features:

1. Lamina fanaingoana. Tubular types are installed in special shades in the lid of the aquarium and terrarium, compact ones – in the base of a table lamp, and metal steam ones work only with a special starter.
2. Ny elanelana kely indrindra eo anelanelan'ny jiro sy ny tany. The distance should be from 30 to 40 cm and focus on the power and UVB value.
3. Karazana sokatra. Water turtles use land for heating, so the maximum temperature is allowed there. For land reptiles, balance is important, so the lamp should be directed to one of the parts of the terrarium in order to give the reptile a choice between temperature conditions.
4. fahasamihafana eo amin'ny mari-pana. Measure the desired temperature at the level of the dorsal shield of the shell. At ground level, the indicator is lower, so the pet can get burned.
5. Ny habetsahan'ny faritra mirehitra. Tokony hianjera eo ambanin'ny taratra ny vatan'ny sokatra manontolo.

IMPORTANT! The best place to place it is above the turtle’s head. When mounted on the side, the light unnerves and irritates the animal, and when mounted on the top, it successfully imitates the sun.

Torolàlana fampiasana

The heating lamp should burn for 10-12 hours, creating an imitation of daylight. At night, it must be turned off so that the turtles can sleep. If room temperature is not enough, use an infrared lamp that is not a light source, but maintains the desired temperature.

Ny fotoana fiasan'ny jiro UV dia miankina amin'ny taonan'ny biby mandady:

1. Talohan'ny taona 2. Young animals require a lot of ultraviolet light, so a UV lamp should work on a par with a heating one. It is not necessary to monitor the rays hitting the turtle directly, since the body will independently take the necessary dose of radiation.
2. Taorian'ny 2 taona. With age, the animal loses its susceptibility to UV rays, but also does not experience an urgent need for them as in childhood. Reduce the lamp time to 3 hours, but make sure your pet spends at least 1 hour under the lamp.

ZAVA-DEHIBE! Tokony ho lava kokoa ny fotoana fiposahan'ny UV amin'ny biby mandady malemy. Amin'ny ririnina, mitombo ny faharetan'ny fomba fiasa noho ny habetsahan'ny tara-masoandro kely miditra amin'ny varavarankely ao an-trano. Raha toa ka tsy mamela anao hitandrina ny fitsipiky ny andro sokatra ny fandaharam-potoanan'ny asa, dia ampiasao jiro misy auto-on. Noho ny fameram-potoana manokana nomanina mandritra ny fotoana iray, dia tsy mila mandrehitra ny jiro ianao.

Allowed and prohibited alternatives

Ny sokatra biby dia tsy afaka miaina raha tsy misy jiro UV. Amin'ny fahavaratra dia azonao atao ny mahazo ny habetsaky ny tara-masoandro ilaina, fa na dia amin'ity tranga ity aza dia mety ho voan'ny sery ny biby noho ny fiovan'ny toerana rehefa mivoaka any ivelany. Mandra-pahatongan'ny fotoana, ny jiro UV dia azo soloina amin'ny jiro erythema ampiasaina amin'ny tanning. Noho ny fatra mahery amin'ny taratra taratra taratra ultraviolet, ny fatra ambony indrindra amin'ny fitaovana toy izany dia tsy tokony hihoatra ny 10 minitra isan'andro.

IMPORTANT! When irradiated with a tanning lamp, avoid contact with eyes. Such light can injure the reptile’s cornea.

Please note that not all blue light sources can replace a UV lamp. Danger for turtles are:

• jiro quartz;
• fitsaboana ultraviolet irradiator;
• jiro UV ho an'ny fanamainana fantsika;
• jiro mitsitsy angovo miaraka amin'ny hazavana mangatsiaka;
• vola madinika detector;
• lamps for aquarium plants and fish.

Instructions for collecting a homemade structure

In order to save a UV lamp, you can do it yourself. Before you start, make sure you have:

• trano tranainy avy eo ambanin'ny fitaovana na fototra hafa ho an'ny fasteners;
• mpamily, famatsiana herinaratra ary connecteur avy amin'ny jiro tsy ilaina;
• screwdrivers, fasteners and soldering iron;
• jiro fluorescent;
• self-adhesive foil;
• wires from an old electrical appliance.

Araho ny torolalana etsy ambany:

1. Paste the case (basis for fasteners) with foil, increasing the lighting area, and place the lamp inside.
2. Connect the driver, power supply, connector and wires, observing the correct polarity.
3. Make sure that all structural elements are securely fastened.
4. Check all connections and connect the lamp to the mains.
5. Fix the lamp above the terrarium.

IMPORTANT! Do not try to save without proper experience. Improper assembly threatens with fire or injury to the reptile, so trust the manufacturers.

Famaranana

Ho an'ny fiainana milamina dia mila karazana taratra 3 ny sokatra:

• taratra manimbatompon'andraikitra amin'ny fampandehanana tsara ny vatana;
• hazavana infraredfitazonana ny mari-pana ilaina;
• hazavana hita masotompon'andraikitra amin'ny fitazonana ny tsingerina isan'andro.

Remember that UV lamps lose their power with use and need to be replaced at least once a year. If the case is damaged, remove the fragments and spilled powder into a separate container and be sure to ventilate.

ZAVA-DEHIBE! Noho ny tsy fahampian'ny merkiora, ny etona dia sokajiana ho ambany loza, saingy mety hiteraka fahasimbana goavana eo amin'ny tontolo iainana raha tsy ariana tsara. Ny fitaovana simba dia azo atolotra ny mpiasan’ny SES na ny minisiteran’ny vonjy taitra, any amin’ny toerana fanangonana manokana, ny fikambanana mpitantana ny MKD na ny orinasa tsy miankina manangona fako mampidi-doza amin’ny vidiny mirary.
