Zoo Med Nano Basking Spot Lamp – 25 Watt

The Zoo Med Nano Basking Spot Lamp is a specialized heat lamp designed for very small terrariums, particularly Nano-size enclosures. It is specifically designed to provide a basking spot and heat source for small reptiles, amphibians, invertebrates, and tarantulas. Here are some key features and information about this product:

Wattage: The Nano Basking Spot Lamp has a 25-watt power rating, which makes it suitable for small enclosures where higher-wattage heat sources might be excessive.

Basking Spot: This lamp is designed to create a localized basking spot within the terrarium. This is important for reptiles and amphibians that require a warm area to thermoregulate, as well as for tarantulas that may need a warmer spot.

Size: As the name suggests, it is specifically designed for Nano-size terrariums, which are typically very small habitats. This makes it a suitable choice for very small reptiles and amphibians, such as hatchlings, geckos, or juvenile creatures.

UVB Emission: While this product is primarily a heat lamp, it’s important to note that it may not emit UVB radiation, which is necessary for the synthesis of vitamin D in reptiles. Depending on the species you are keeping, you may need to provide UVB lighting separately.

Use with a Thermostat: It’s advisable to use a thermostat with this lamp to ensure that the temperature in the enclosure stays within the appropriate range. This helps prevent overheating and ensures the comfort and safety of your pets.

Fixture: You’ll need a suitable fixture or lamp holder to securely position the Nano Basking Spot Lamp above the basking area in the terrarium.

Always make sure to follow the manufacturer’s instructions for installation and usage, and consider the specific temperature and lighting requirements of the animals you are keeping. Additionally, keep in mind that the needs of reptiles, amphibians, and invertebrates can vary, so it’s essential to research the specific requirements of your pet species to provide them with the best care.
