Zoo Med Deluxe Porcelain Clamp Lamp, 5.5"

Reptiles, being ectothermic or "cold-blooded," rely on external heat sources to regulate their body temperature since they cannot generate their own warmth. This external heat is vital for digestion, overall health, and proper bodily functions. As caretakers, providing the right heat through heat lamps is essential for their well-being.

Ensure your reptile stays at the ideal temperature with the Zoo Med Deluxe Porcelain Clamp Lamp. Crafted from sturdy, heavy-duty painted aluminum, this fixture features a durable ceramic socket designed to withstand high heat.

Please note: Bulb is not included.

Maximum bulb wattage: 100w

Diameter: 5.5"

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 lights up. Position the lamp on the mesh lid of your terrarium, placing it over the basking spot on either the far left or right side to establish a proper temperature gradient.

For optimal results, monitor the basking area temperature using the Zoo Med ReptiTemp Digital Infrared Thermometer to ensure your reptile's environment meets their specific thermal needs.
