Exo Terra Night Heat Lamp – 40 Watt

The Exo Terra Night Heat Lamp is a product designed for reptile and amphibian enthusiasts. This lamp is primarily used for creating a moonlight-like ambiance in the enclosure while maintaining suitable night temperatures for tropical species. Here’s a breakdown of the features:

Simulates Natural Moonlight: The Exo Terra Night Heat Lamp aims to replicate the illumination provided by the moon at night. This allows for observing your reptiles or amphibians during their natural nocturnal activities without disturbing their day-night cycle.

Bluish Light: The lamp emits bluish light, likely due to the use of blue glass in its construction. This specific color helps mimic the appearance of moonlight, providing a subtle and soothing nighttime illumination.

Heat Generation: While the primary purpose of this lamp is not intense heating, it does produce a certain amount of heat. The heat generated is minimal but adequate for maintaining the required tropical nighttime temperatures in your pet’s habitat.

Night Temperature Maintenance: The lamp’s 40-watt wattage is intentionally lowered to prevent interfering with natural temperature drops that occur during the night. This is important as some reptile and amphibian species require these temperature fluctuations for their well-being.

Breeding Stimulation: The lamp’s moonlight simulation and the subtle heat it emits can help stimulate breeding behavior in reptiles and amphibians. Many species rely on specific lighting conditions to trigger their natural reproductive processes.

24-Hour Cycle: The Exo Terra Night Heat Lamp can be used in conjunction with other lighting products like Repti Glo or Sun Glo to create a 24-hour light cycle in the enclosure. This combination of lighting helps simulate natural lighting patterns and environmental conditions, promoting your pets’ overall well-being.

It’s important to note that when using any lighting or heating equipment for your reptiles or amphibians, it’s crucial to research the specific needs of your pet species. Different species have varying requirements in terms of temperature, lighting, and other environmental factors. Always ensure that the setup you create mimics their natural habitat as closely as possible to ensure their health and happiness.
