Reptiles, being ectothermic creatures, rely on external heat sources like sunlight 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 the right heat source through specialized lamps is essential for their care.

The Zoo Med Nano Basking Spot Bulb, a compact 40w bulb, is specifically designed for tiny reptiles, amphibians, and invertebrates housed in small terrariums. Note that this bulb does not emit UVB light.

It is compatible with the Zoo Med Nano Dome Lamp Fixture.
