Zoo Med Repti Basking Spot Lamp

The Repti Basking Spot Lamps have a unique patented double reflector that focuses 35% more heat and light into a tight beam. This will allow you to direct the light to your reptiles favorite basking spot.

Ideal for use with diurnal reptiles that thermo-regulate by basking, including many tropical and desert species. Such as Bearded Dragons, Uromastyx, Blue Tongue Skinks, Iguanas and many more

Can be placed above a metal terrarium screen or inside the terrarium – please use a wire mesh to protect the animals from direct contact with the bulb. The Heat lamp is most effective when pointed toward the object you wish to warm up, such as a rock or other terrarium decor.

Pro Tips

We recommend that you use a thermostat or rheostat with a probe (placed in an appropriate location) to control the basking temperature for all heat emitting source, including heat bulbs, ceramic heat emitters, heat projectors, heat mats, heat tape, ETC. We also recommend you invest in a digital temperature device. An Infrared Thermometer Gun works incredibly well to spot check your terrarium temperatures.

These basking bulbs do not emit UVB light, and should be combined with the appropriate UVB bulb for you reptile pets needs.

The 25-100w bulbs will fit most light fixures or dome designed for heat projection, and the 150-250w may require a Deep Dome light fixture. Please ensure it has a cermic base – do not use plastic bases!!

For all the options we carry, please visit our Lighting and Heating Section.

Please research your pets specific heating needs, and provide the most appropriate solution.

Warning

The bulbs get extremely hot. Keep away from pets, children and anything that may melt or burn.  Do not set hot lamp and fixture on the floor, furniture or counters until cool and safe to do so. Please allow the bulb and fixture to cool completely before handling or moving it.
