Exo Terra Full Moon Review

The Exo Terra Full Moon was developed to stimulate moonlight in the terrarium, ideal for all nocturnal reptiles.

The moon bulb copies the shimmer of the moon, enabling you to observe your reptile without disturbing them, enabling them to carry out their natural behavior.

What’s great about the moon bulb is that it comes equipped with a light sensor, so it automatically turns on when the terrarium lights turn off.

The design includes a cratered effect, which gives a realistic moon appearance with low heat emission, allowing for a natural temperature drop as it becomes night.
