Reptiles, being ectothermic or “cold-blooded,” depend on external heat sources to maintain their body temperature, as they cannot generate warmth internally. This external heat is essential for their well-being, supporting critical processes like metabolism and digestion.

The Zilla Day White Mini Halogen Bulb provides superior, high-intensity heat compared to traditional incandescent bulbs. A single 50w mini halogen bulb delivers heat equivalent to a 100w or even 125w incandescent bulb! Featuring durable glass and a robust filament, each bulb offers an impressive lifespan of approximately 2,000 hours.

Note: This bulb does not emit UVB light.

Usage Guidelines:

Secure the bulb in a lamp with a ceramic socket and a reflective interior. Position the lamp at one end of the enclosureeither far left or rightto establish a temperature gradient suitable for your reptile.

Use a digital probe thermometer with the probe placed in the basking spot to ensure the temperature meets the specific needs of your reptile’s species.
