For larger reptiles such as Bearded Dragons or Uromastyx, a secondary basking spot lamp like an Exo terra Sun Glo Tight Beam might be needed to maintain their overall body temperature nice and hot, just how they like it!
In the wild, your desert dwelling reptile would receive a huge amount of warmth and visible light from the Sun, and to allow them to have a healthy life style, this is easily replicated with a second spot lamp.
The reflective coating around the sides of the bulb means that the light beam is considerably narrower than most other spot lamps more like the ‘Spot Light’ at the theatre intense and focused on one spot which your reptile can move under should they be feeling a little chilly.
Each Exo Terra Sun Glo Tight Beam Basking Spot Lamp features:
A 35% increase of light and heat in the beam compared with Exo Terra’s normal lamp
The ability to create a precise basking area for thermo-regulation.
Capability to increase ambient air temperature
Stimulates breeding behaviour through visible light rays
Can be combined with Night Glo or Heat Glo for a 24 hours cycle.
Don’t forget! This lamp gives your reptile an essential dose of heat and UVA (Visible light), however they still need a UVB source (UV spot lamp) to be able to generate vitamin D3 to avoid metabolic bone disease.
That being said, an extra tight-beam lamp like this can make a huge difference to your reptile’s health and happiness.
