Zoo Med Deluxe Porcelain Clamp Lamp, 10"

Reptiles, being ectothermic or "cold-blooded," rely on external heat sources like the sun to regulate their body temperature. This warmth is crucial for digestion, maintaining bodily functions, and overall well-being. As they cannot generate their own heat, providing a suitable heat source through heat lamps is essential for their care.

Ensure your reptile stays at the ideal temperature with the Zoo Med Deluxe Porcelain Clamp Lamp. Crafted from durable, heavy-duty painted aluminum, this lamp features a heat-resistant ceramic socket for safe and reliable use.

Note: Bulb is not included with this product.

Maximum bulb wattage: 250w

Diameter: 10"

Usage Instructions:

Securely screw the bulb into the socket. Connect the cord to a power outlet or timer if required, then test the on/off switch to confirm the bulb operates correctly. Position the lamp over the mesh screen of your terrarium, placing it above the basking spot on either the far right or left side to establish a proper temperature gradient.

For accurate temperature monitoring, we recommend using the Zoo Med ReptiTemp Digital Infrared Thermometer to check the basking area and ensure it meets your reptile’s specific needs.
