Exo Terra Night Heat Lamp – 100 Watt

The Exo Terra Night Heat Lamp – 100 Watt is designed to create a nighttime environment for reptiles and amphibians while also providing some heat. Here’s a breakdown of the key features:

Moonlight Lamp: The Exo Terra Night Heat Lamp simulates natural moonlight, which is especially beneficial for nocturnal animals. This allows you to observe your reptiles and amphibians during their active nighttime hours without disrupting their natural day-night cycle.

Nocturnal Viewing: The bluish light emitted by the lamp serves the purpose of moonlight. This type of light is less likely to disturb the animals during their sleep or activity cycles, making it suitable for nighttime observation.

Tropical Night-Time Temperatures: The heat generated by the 100-watt bulb is designed to provide tropical night temperatures. This is important because many reptiles and amphibians come from regions with warm climates and require elevated nighttime temperatures to thrive.

Breeding Behavior Stimulation: The moonlight-like illumination can also trigger breeding behavior in reptiles and amphibians that are sensitive to changes in light conditions. This can be crucial for those who are breeding these animals in captivity.

Temperature Drops: The lower wattage of the bulb is likely chosen to ensure that it doesn’t interfere with the natural nighttime temperature drops that occur in many reptiles’ habitats. These temperature fluctuations are important for the animals’ well-being and overall health.

Combination with Other Lamps: The Exo Terra Night Heat Lamp can be used in combination with other light sources, such as the Daytime Heat Lamp or Repti Glo, to create a 24-hour light cycle. This can help provide a more natural and consistent environment for the animals.

Overall, this product seems to offer a balanced solution for providing both the right amount of light and heat during the nighttime hours for reptiles and amphibians, while also considering their natural behaviors and requirements. Always ensure you follow the manufacturer’s guidelines and recommendations when using any kind of lighting or heating equipment for your pets.
