Zoo Med Naturalistic Terrarium Hood, 12-Inch

Its compact and works perfectly.

Perfect for what it is.

This hood lamp works great for compact UVB lights, the metal reflector reflects the light great, and keeps the light bright!

It works as intended

This works great on top of our turtle tank, so good I bought 3 of them. They are slimier and better looking in my opinion than the Exo Terra. Also I like these better than Exo as the cord is in the back along with the switch. The Exo the cord and switch are on the side. They also work great and have had no problems. I have one with a red light, one with a daylight bulb and one with a compact UVB bulb. Highly Recommended!

I dont like any CFL fixtures for reptiles because they are so problematic. I work in rescue and most issues I find with the chameleons that I rescue stem from poor lighting equipment. I purchased this to test a CFL light with a Solarmeter and only use it for my lab where I may keep an animal there for a short period (as in minutes or hours) while its being medicated or treated in some way. Not ideal for long term for chameleons. I gave it 3 stars for aesthetics and design. It might be better suited for frogs or geckos.

love it.

Fits perfect on my Exo Terra, went with this one because it’s fits bulbs up to 60 watts.

GOOD

This is a great hood to fit the Zoo Med 12x12 base terrariums. Nice fit and finish without too much light leakage under the lip, unlike the Exo Terra 12x12 and hood I have. You can fit a really long bulb in there! Jungle Dawns should be no problemo. The reflector is almost twice the length of the Exo Terra!
