Exo Terra Infrared Basking Spot – 150 Watt – R30

 

The Exo Terra Infrared Basking Spot is a heating lamp designed for use in reptile terrariums. This type of lamp emits infrared heat waves and is used to create a warm basking spot for reptiles that require higher temperatures for digestion, activity, and overall well-being.

 

Here’s a breakdown of the key features:

Increased Air Temperature: The bulb helps raise the overall temperature in the terrarium, creating a warm environment that supports the reptiles’ natural habitat needs.

Essential Heat for Activity and Digestion: Reptiles are ectothermic, which means they rely on external heat sources to regulate their body temperature. The basking spot provides the necessary warmth for their activity levels and digestion processes.

Infrared Heat Waves: The lamp emits infrared heat waves, which are a form of electromagnetic radiation that produces heat. These waves are beneficial for reptiles because they penetrate the skin and help raise their internal body temperature.

24-Hour Radiant Heat Source: The lamp is designed to be used continuously, providing a consistent source of heat throughout the day and night. This is particularly useful for reptiles that are active during both daytime and nighttime hours.

No Disruption to Activity Cycle: The reddish light emitted by the lamp is not visible to humans, so it won’t disturb the reptiles’ natural activity cycle, whether it’s day or night.

Ideal for Nocturnal Viewing: Since the light emitted is not disruptive to reptiles, it’s suitable for observing nocturnal behavior without causing stress to the animals.

Compatibility with Other Lights: The lamp can be used in combination with other types of lights, such as Repti Glo or Sun Glo, to create a complete 24-hour lighting cycle that suits the reptiles’ needs.

Recommended Light Fixture: The Exo Terra Glow Light is suggested as a suitable fixture for use with the Exo Terra Incandescent Bulbs, which includes the Infrared Basking Spot.

 

In summary, the Exo Terra Infrared Basking Spot is a specialized heating lamp designed to provide the necessary warmth for reptiles in terrariums. Its unique features make it a versatile choice for maintaining the proper temperature and lighting conditions for the well-being of your reptile pets.
