Which Products Are Right For Your Reptile Resident?
🔌 Ceramic Socket with Safety Cage 🔌
All setups using a bulb for heating and a solid top enclosure.
Safety is key—cage prevents your resident from touching the heat bulb.
💡 100W Ceramic Heat Emitter 💡
Provides light-less heat for enclosures sized 3'x2'x2' to 8'x2'x2'. Larger enclosures may need more heating elements.
To use as a basking spot, simply place a piece of slate or wood directly underneath the heat emitter.
For a more authentic nature effect, change temperatures at night by programming your thermostat.
Must be used with a thermostat to control when it is on/off.
☀️ UVB T5 Light Bar ☀️
We highly recommend UVB for all reptiles. In the wild, although they may not directly "bask", they have access to UVB even in minimal form. It can also help regulate their day/night internal clock.
Always match UVB strength to species and basking distance. Build your enclosure "up" and make use of the vertical space, this adds enrichment, provides better access to the UVB and creates more "floor space" giving your reptile room to roam.

🕓 Thermostat + Day/Night Timer Outlet 🕓
Thermostat controls your heat source by turning it on when temperature is too low and turning it off once programmed temperature is reached.
Experiment with probe placement. It can be on the basking surface or closer to the heat source itself. Secure probe well & check surface temperatures in enclosure regularly.
Day & Night Timer Outlet turns your light on & off based on the schedule you set. Even has a night time outlet in case you wanted to turn on a "night light".
Simple set-up and great option for any habitat.

🧠 All-In-One Environment Control System 🧠
If you have a humidifier to control, you'd like less hardware or more options to program, this all-in-one control center is a great choice. It can control your misters, lights and heat all in one device.
Although it takes some extra set-up, it makes more complex set-ups easy to maintain.

🌡️ Wireless Digital Thermometer & Hygrometer 🌡️
Great for reading the ambient temperature and humidity of your enclosure. Place one on the cool side of your enclosure and the other on the hot side to check your temperature gradient.
💦 Wired ZooMed Combo Digital Thermometer & Hygrometer 💦
Great for getting a read on specific hard to reach spots like inside a hide, burrow or water feature as the temperature probe is waterproof.
