Reptiles, being ectothermic creatures, 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 can’t generate their own heat, providing the right temperature with heat lamps is essential for their well-being.

While many reptiles benefit from cooler temperatures at night, mimicking natural conditions, some environments may become too chilly for certain species. The Zoo Med Nano Ceramic Heat Emitter, 40w, offers a subtle way to raise the air temperature in your terrarium without disrupting your pets natural sleep patterns.

This heat emitter is ideal for tiny reptiles, amphibians, and invertebrates housed in small terrariums. It pairs perfectly with the Zoo Med Nano Dome Lamp Fixture for optimal performance.

To ensure the temperature remains safe and consistent, combine it with the Zoo Med ReptiTemp Digital Thermostat to prevent overheating during nighttime use.
