Exo Terra Infrared Basking Spot NANO – 25 Watt

 

The Exo Terra Infrared Basking Spot NANO is a specialized heat bulb designed for use in smaller terrariums, particularly the Exo Terra Natural terrarium NANO or MINI. It emits infrared heat waves, which are beneficial for reptiles, amphibians, and invertebrates in the terrarium. Here are the key features and benefits of this product:

 

Infrared Heat Emission: The bulb emits infrared heat waves that mimic the natural sun’s warmth. These waves can penetrate deep into the skin, muscles, nerves, and bones of your terrarium inhabitants. Infrared heat is essential for promoting proper activity, digestion, and overall well-being of reptiles, amphibians, and invertebrates.

Temperature Control: The bulb increases the overall air temperature within the terrarium. This is crucial for maintaining appropriate temperature gradients within the enclosure, which allows your animals to regulate their body temperature by moving to different areas with varying heat levels.

Basking Site and Gradients: The bulb comes with a built-in reflector that can be directed toward a specific area in the terrarium. This creates a basking site with a higher temperature, allowing your animals to thermoregulate by moving between warmer and cooler areas as needed.

No Disruption to Activity Patterns: The reddish light emitted by the bulb does not disrupt the natural activity patterns of crepuscular (active during dawn and dusk) and nocturnal (active during the night) reptiles, amphibians, and invertebrates. This enables you to observe and study their behavior during their active hours without disturbing their natural rhythms.

Nocturnal Observation: The Infrared Basking Spot NANO is particularly useful for observing animals that are most active at night. Its gentle infrared light allows you to watch your crepuscular and nocturnal pets without using bright and potentially disturbing lighting.

Compatibility: The small dimensions of this bulb are designed to work perfectly with the Exo Terra Reptile Dome NANO, which is a fixture specifically tailored for use with NANO and MINI terrariums.
