Exo Terra Infrared Basking Spot – 75 Watt – R20

 

The Exo Terra Infrared Basking Spot lamp is a type of heating lamp designed for terrariums and reptile habitats. This lamp emits infrared heat waves and features a built-in reflector to direct heat in various directions. The red glass used in the lamp allows the transmission of infrared waves generated by its special filament. This reddish light doesn’t disturb the normal activities of animals during both day and night, making it an effective 24-hour heat source.

 

Key features of the Exo Terra Infrared Basking Spot include:

Increased Terrarium Temperature: The lamp raises the overall air temperature within the terrarium, which is important for creating a suitable environment for reptiles and other animals.

Essential Heat for Activity and Digestion: Reptiles and other cold-blooded animals rely on external heat sources to regulate their body temperature and facilitate digestion. This lamp provides the necessary heat for these processes.

Infrared Heat Emission: The lamp emits infrared heat waves that are beneficial for reptiles, as they can absorb this heat directly, mimicking the natural sun’s warmth.

24-Hour Radiant Heat Source: The lamp’s unique design allows it to function as a continuous heat source, maintaining the terrarium temperature throughout the day and night.

Non-Disruptive to Activity Cycle: The reddish light emitted by the lamp doesn’t interfere with the animals’ natural activity cycles, allowing them to remain active and engage in their usual behaviors.

Nocturnal Viewing: The lamp is suitable for nocturnal animals, as it provides heat without disturbing their natural behaviors even in the dark.

Compatibility: It can be combined with other types of bulbs, such as Repti Glo or Sun Glo, to create a complete 24-hour light cycle in the terrarium.

Compatibility with Exo Terra Glow Light: The Exo Terra Glow Light, specified by model numbers PT2052, PT2054, and PT2056, is recommended to be used with this type of incandescent bulb.

 

Overall, the Exo Terra Infrared Basking Spot is designed to create a comfortable and naturalistic environment for reptiles and other similar animals in terrariums. It provides essential heat and allows for both day and night viewing without disturbing their normal behavior patterns.
