Exo Terra Infrared Basking Spot – 100 Watt – R25

 

The Exo Terra Infrared Basking Spot is a heating lamp designed for terrariums. This bulb emits infrared heat waves and has a built-in reflector to direct the heat in any direction. The red glass of the bulb allows the transmission of infrared waves produced by a special filament.

 

Here are the key features of the Exo Terra Infrared Basking Spot:

Increased Terrarium Temperature: The bulb is designed to raise the overall air temperature within the terrarium, creating a warm environment for reptiles and other animals.

Essential Heat for Activity and Digestion: Reptiles and many other cold-blooded animals require external heat sources to maintain their body temperature, which is crucial for their activity levels and digestion.

Infrared Heat Emission: The bulb emits infrared heat waves, which are a natural form of heat that reptiles can absorb to regulate their body temperature.

24-Hour Radiant Heat Source: The reddish light emitted by the bulb can be used as a 24-hour heat source. This is especially important for reptiles and other animals that are active both during the day and at night.

Non-Disruptive: The reddish light emitted by the bulb won’t disrupt the normal activity cycle of the animals. This means it’s suitable for use during both day and night.

Ideal for Nocturnal Viewing: Since the bulb doesn’t emit bright white light, it’s suitable for observing nocturnal animals without disturbing their natural behavior.

Compatibility with Other Bulbs: The Exo Terra Infrared Basking Spot can be combined with other bulbs like Repti Glo or Sun Glo to create a 24-hour light cycle that suits the specific needs of the animals.

Compatibility with Exo Terra Glow Light: The Exo Terra Glow Light (PT2052 / PT2054 / PT2056) is recommended as a suitable fixture for using the Exo Terra Incandescent Bulbs, including the Infrared Basking Spot.

 

Overall, the Exo Terra Infrared Basking Spot seems to be a versatile heating lamp that provides necessary heat for reptiles and other animals, without disturbing their natural behavior patterns. It’s designed to create a warm and comfortable environment within the terrarium while catering to both day and night active animals.
