We all love our pets like family, even if our pets are of the scaly, cold-blooded variety. Although you may not be able to train your pet reptiles, amphibians and turtles to roll over on command or walk next to you on a leash, we still love them and want them to be comfortable, healthy and happy in their tanks and aquariums. And for cold-blooded reptiles, that means ensuring they have proper lighting in their enclosures to keep them warm and healthy.
For reptiles, sunlight is quite literally life. Reptiles need light and heat to function, so it’s absolutely imperative to provide your pet with proper lighting to ensure his health and comfort.
Most reptiles require two different kinds of light bulbs in their tank:
A
UVA UVB Mercury Vapor Reptile UVB Bulb that provides UVA (visual) light and UVB (vitamin production) light
A
Reptile Basking Spot Lamps that provides heat for basking
