FAQ

What is the Zilla Rapid Sense UV Detecting Decor Poplar Log used for?

This realistic-appearing log hide provides reptiles with a secure area to retreat and also warns of UVB exposure through a color-changing element.

Why is UVB important to reptiles?

UVB light helps reptiles synthesize vitamin D3, which is required for calcium absorption and prevention of metabolic bone disease (MBD).

Which reptiles can the Zilla Poplar Log be used for?

The log is suitable for bearded dragons, geckos, anoles, turtles, skinks, and other small to medium-sized reptiles that require UVB and hiding places.

Can this log be used in dry and humid terrariums?

Yes! It is made of heat-resistant and moisture-resistant materials, so it is okay for both dry and tropical climates.

How do I use this decorative item to test UVB exposure?

Place the log in front of your UVB light source, and check the color change. If it does not change, there might be a chance your UVB bulb needs replacement or perhaps it's not pointed at the same angle.

Does this item hold heat?

Although it is not a heat source, it will absorb and retain some heat from basking lamps, so it is a suitable place for reptiles to bask.
