Zoo Med Day/Night Tropical Lighting Kit

Many believe reptiles cannot see red light, but this is a myth. Nocturnal reptiles don’t require it as they see well in darkness, while for diurnal reptiles, it might interfere with their sleep patterns. Nighttime lighting can also disrupt their natural circadian cycles.

Additionally, blue light is harmful to animal eyesight and can upset their biological rhythms.

If your reptile needs a heat source at night due to low temperatures, consider alternatives like the Zoo Med Repti Basking Spot or the Zoo Med Ceramic Infrared Heat Emitter instead of this lighting kit.

To ensure optimal conditions, use the Zoo Med ReptiTemp Digital Infrared Thermometer to check the basking area temperature for your pet’s specific requirements.
