Reptiles are ectotherms ("cold-blooded"), which means that they rely on their environment for warmth rather than producing it themselves. This heat is crucial to their survival, as it helps regulate metabolism and facilitates vital functions such as digestion.
The Zilla Day White Mini Halogen Bulb offers more efficient, higher-intensity heating than standard incandescent bulbs. One 25w mini halogen bulb is roughly equivalent to one 50w or even 75w incandescent bulb! With thicker glass and a stronger filament, each bulb yields an average of 2,000 hours of life.
This bulb does not produce UVB.
Instructions for Use:
Install bulb in a lamp with a ceramic socket and reflective interior, and place the lamp on the extreme right or left of the enclosure to create a usable temperature gradient for your reptile.
Use a digital probe thermometer with the probe placed on the basking area to make sure your reptile is getting the basking temperatures that their species needs.
