Zoo Med Deluxe Porcelain Clamp Lamp, 8.5"

Reptiles, being ectothermic or "cold-blooded," rely on external heat sources like the sun to regulate their body temperature. This warmth is crucial for digestion, overall health, and proper bodily functions. Since they cannot generate their own heat, providing an external heat source through heat lamps is essential for their well-being.

Maintain the ideal temperature for your reptile with the Zoo Med Deluxe Porcelain Clamp Lamp. Crafted from durable heavy gauge aluminum with a painted finish, this lamp features a heat-resistant ceramic socket for safety and longevity.

Note: Bulb is not included with this fixture.

Maximum bulb wattage: 150w

Diameter: 8.5"

Usage Instructions:

Securely screw the bulb into the socket. Connect the cord to a power outlet or timer if required, and test the on/off switch to confirm the bulb operates correctly. Position the lamp on the mesh lid of your terrarium, placing it over the basking spot on either the far right or left side to establish a proper temperature gradient.

For optimal temperature monitoring, pair this lamp with the Zoo Med ReptiTemp Digital Infrared Thermometer to ensure your reptile's basking area is at the correct temperature for their specific needs.
