Exo Terra Daytime Heat Lamp – 40 Watt – T10

The Exo Terra Daytime Heat Lamp is designed for use in reptile terrariums. This lamp serves multiple purposes, including providing a broad-spectrum daylight source, contributing to reptile well-being, and increasing the ambient temperature in the terrarium. Here are the key features summarized:

Broad-Spectrum Daylight Lamp: The Exo Terra Daytime Heat Lamp emits a light spectrum that is beneficial for plant photosynthesis. This makes it suitable for creating a natural and healthy environment in the terrarium.

Thermoregulation and Heat Gradients: The lamp helps establish heat gradients within the terrarium. Reptiles, like many animals, require temperature variation in their habitat to regulate their body temperature effectively. The lamp assists in creating these temperature zones.

Increasing Ambient Air Temperature: The lamp’s heat emission contributes to raising the overall temperature of the terrarium. This is crucial because reptiles, being ectothermic, rely on external heat sources to maintain their body temperature.

Stimulating Breeding Behavior: The UVA (ultraviolet A) rays emitted by the lamp have been shown to have positive effects on reptiles’ physiological well-being. Additionally, UVA rays can stimulate breeding behavior in some reptile species.

24-Hour Cycle: The lamp can be used in combination with other light sources like Night Glo or Heat Glo to create a 24-hour light cycle in the terrarium. This mimics the natural lighting conditions reptiles would experience in the wild.

Compatible with Exo Terra Glow Light: The Exo Terra Glow Light (specifically, model numbers PT2052, PT2054, and PT2056) is recommended for use with the Exo Terra Incandescent Bulbs, including the Daytime Heat Lamp.

Overall, the Exo Terra Daytime Heat Lamp is designed to provide reptiles with a suitable light spectrum, temperature regulation, and well-being enhancement. It’s essential to follow the manufacturer’s guidelines and ensure that the lamp’s intensity and duration are appropriate for the specific reptile species you’re keeping in the terrarium.
