Reptiles do not make heat for themselves, but maintain necessary body temperatures by taking heat from their environment.
The required body temperature varies according to the species, the time of day, and the stage of digestion of food. For this reason, the temperatures must vary over the floor of the vivarium.
From our selection of heating you can choose the most suitable one for your tank, vivarium or cage.
There are two main types of heat, basking heat for reptiles which spend a lot of time on branches or high in the cage, and ground heat for reptiles that spend a lot of time on the ground. Most heat sources should be connected to a thermostat.
