Reptiles are ectothermic, which means that instead of producing their own body heat, they depend on external sources like the sun for warmth. This heat energy is used to digest their food, maintain bodily function, and stay generally healthy. Since reptiles don't produce their own heat, we must provide the heat they need with heat lamps.

The Zoo Med Nano Basking Spot Bulb is an extra-small basking bulb for extra-small reptiles, amphibians, and invertebrates living in particularly small terrariums. This bulb does not produce UVB.

Compatible with the Zoo Med Nano Dome Lamp Fixture.
