Heating and Lighting
Proper heating and lighting are vital for your reptile’s well-being, as they rely on environmental temperature and light for metabolic functions.
Infrared globes provide heat along with a red light, making them ideal for nocturnal reptiles. They offer warmth without disrupting a reptile’s natural sleep patterns, as the red light is less intrusive.
Ceramic heat emitters, on the other hand, produce heat without any visible light, making them great for nighttime heating. Heat mats provide gentle, consistent warmth for burrowing species, while UVB lighting is crucial for calcium absorption and bone health.
A combination of these heating and lighting options ensures your reptile’s habitat mimics natural conditions, promoting overall health and well-being.
