It also gives UVA (ultraviolet A), which Exo Terra says stimulates appetite, activity and breeding behaviour.

Glass, acrylic and fine mesh between the tube and the animal block part of the UVB, so mount it where it has a clear path to the basking area. Give the animal shaded areas it can retreat to, away from the tube.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSafety\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eSwitch off and let the tube cool before changing it, and avoid looking straight at the lit tube.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWarranty and delivery\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eAny manufacturer's warranty applies in addition to your rights under Australian Consumer Law.
