Exo Terra Ceramic Heat Emitter, 60 Watt

Product Information

There is zero percent light emission in the ceramic heater. The staff lets you use the emitter both day and night without reducing the effect. Heaters have the construction design of heating, and so the heat is more than the casual bulbs. Temperatures between 15-21°C (60-70°F) are insufficient for reptiles to effectively digest and their immune system is weak (Divers and Mader, 2005). On the other hand, these temperatures are insufficient for normal brumation (Divers and Mader, 2005). If it is difficult to retain heat then it is likely that you are in a cold climate and/or using housing made of glass, perspex or other materials which don’t have sufficient insulating properties. It may take some experimenting with different bulb wattages to find the one that works ideally for your particular habitat. Our Favorite Basking Spot Lamp The heat produced by UVB fluorescent lamps is so insignificant that it will not add to the heating of the environment. This means that fluorescent lamps do not need to be connected to heat control on thermostats. However, they should be connected to timers to turn on and off for day and night. Bearded dragons do not need light at night and should be provided a period of darkness.

One of the best features of this product is it is of high purity ceramics. This high temp fired material ensures the durability & long-lasting performance of the stuff. It can perform well under high temperature. Moreover, this strong material contributes to resisting any kind of breakage. High Efficiency Is 10 degrees too cold for a bearded dragon? In captivity, 10°C (50°F) is cold for a bearded dragon in its active (summer) cycle. In the wild, temperatures over days of 10°C (50°F) is cold enough to trigger brumation (Doneley, 2006).Incandescent bulbs, on the other hand, are relatively inefficient when used primarily for lighting: However, bulbs sold specifically for heating differ from standard incandescent bulbs in several key ways:

Visible light is simply that, if we can see it then it is visible light. UVB bulbs will contribute to visible, however it may not be sufficient to light the environment well and could be focused only on the basking area. Low levels of visible light or poorly placed lighting will likely slow activity down and could impact other behaviours such as eating.

Heat mats

CHEs are reasonably cheap therefore keeping a range of wattages and spares is feasible. These bulbs are generally pretty hardy and do not need replacing until they cease to work. By having a small range of different wattage’s available, increasing or decreasing the level of heat throughout the season changes becomes easier and ensures there are spares when one fails. Heat Mats Like the heat lamp, heat emitters come in a variety of wattages ranging from 60 watts to 150 watts. The fluorescent lighting should not be the length of the enclosure. Bearded dragons are capable of discerning when they have had sufficient UVB and remove themselves from it given the right conditions (i.e. temperature gradient) in the enclosure.
