Lighting for Your Reptile

Reptiles are cold-blooded creatures so you will need to keep your pet reptile in a climate-controlled enclosure. To manage your reptile’s temperature, you will need effective lighting. Research your pet’s lighting and heat needs and purchase lighting that best maintains the proper temperature. Lighting also provides an aesthetically pleasing way to display your reptile. However, you don’t want to keep the lights on all night because this would not be a natural environment for your reptile and the lights could interrupt your family members’ sleep schedules. Thus, you will need night lighting that provides heat without light. Position several thermometers in your reptile’s enclosure to check for hot spots that could injure him. Hot rocks or steaming water could be dangerous to your reptile. Provide your reptile with shady areas too so he can get a respite from the heat.
