Reptile Heat Lamp Bulb -60W Ceramic Heat Emitter No Harm No Light Infrared Heater Lamp for Chicken Coop Lizard Aquarium Snake Outside Dogs Brooder 110V,White

My son's bearded dragon needed something to keep him warm, so I bought this. It has proven to be effective - He was previously using a 75W infrared light bulb to keep the tank warm. The following are some of the reasons I chose this heat emitter over others: lower wattage (save money because it runs 24 hours a day) and UL certification (runs 24 hours a day - desired a safe option). It does not appear that the product is UL listed after receiving it. The "UL" symbol is missing from both the box and the ceramic heat emitter. In addition, I looked for the product in the Underwriters database, but it was not found. It appears that the seller made an error in the product description.

I'm in desperate need of reptiles. The delivery was extremely fast. br>I have an Exo Terra 40 (36 x 18 inches) in my collection. I rescued two leopard geckos from an uncaring owner, and I wanted to make sure they were getting enough heat to stay healthy. I was concerned about the light emitted by a standard heat bulb, and I've seen many bulbs returned at the pet store where I work. These ceramic heat elements are said to last up to ten times longer than traditional bulbs, which is a huge benefit. br>The price is also reasonable; it's comparable to other heat bulbs of similar size. br>I like that it doesn't emit any light because it doesn't disturb my sleep or give off an unnatural red glow during the day.

This is what we put in our small chicken coop, pointing at the water bottle. Its sole purpose was to keep the water from freezing. The water bottle froze in 20-degree weather, even in a coop with extra feathered body heat. It was only about a foot away from the light bulb. The bulb DOES become extremely hot to the touch, but the heat does not appear to radiate outward as we had hoped. This bulb is fine for warming up an indoor cage a few degrees, but it isn't strong enough for outside use; instead, use the 100W or stronger bulbs. If we have any babies, we will use this to keep them warm inside.

This is what I use to keep the temperature of an outdoor cat shelter that I keep for feral cats at a comfortable level. It shouldn't be too hot, but it shouldn't be too cold either. It is most likely used for reptiles by the majority of people. It's a good substitute for heat bulbs, which usually emit some form of light and may disrupt animals' sleep patterns. I would highly recommend this product; I've had it on for the past 5 weeks and it's still going strong!.

This is what I used for my parakeets all winter. In my house, it gets chilly and drafty. I used it in a standard lamp because it uses very little energy and is an excellent product. I turn it on next to the bird cage when it's especially cold. It's a hit with the birds, and it keeps them toasty warm. Due to the danger of fire, I only use it at home.

I was worried that putting this bulb in a 6" reflector dome (from Home Depot) wouldn't be enough. The birds love it because I put a perch right under the heat lamp, 11" down. They quickly discovered that it is the warmest spot in the flight cage (the cage's glass front helps keep the heat in during the winter), and they visit it throughout the day and sleep under it when they wish. If it gets too hot, they can move to another perch nearby and still get some heat. This heat lamp is safe for birds because it does not emit any light that could cause them to become blind. It's also more energy efficient than the portable indoor radiator I used to keep them warm when the house got colder in the winter. If your cage has a lot of air circulation or is very large, you might need the next wattage size up for heat. Always give them a choice of how close they can perch next to or under the heat lamp to avoid overheating.

The fact that there is no light to disturb my sleep is fantastic. It was shipped quickly and was in perfect condition when it arrived. The packaging was excellent for preventing breakage. Thank you very much; I will be purchasing this bulb again because we are very pleased with it.

Allows me to create a thermal gradient for my ball python by providing ambient air temperatures. She has a 90-degree heat pad hot spot, and with this emitter, the cool side of the enclosure stays around 80 degrees (about 86 degrees directly under the lamp in the middle). She was much more active the first night after I installed the lamp (she used to only come out for a few hours in the early mornings, but now she is active all night). So far, I'm really enjoying it! The only con is that it immediately nuke any humidity that the tank was holding by at least 20% so be prepared to counter that. EDIT: br>br> By simply poring water directly onto Zoo Med's Forest Floor substrate, I was able to achieve the desired humidity. Make sure you don't add too much; all you're trying to do is re-create the effect. moisten the mulch.
