<\/a>Zoo Med Night Light Red Heat Bulbs are incandescent bulbs made using red glass, so the light emitted is red, not bright white. This way, you can provide your pet with nighttime heating without disrupting his day\/night cycle. If you’re using a basking lamp during the day, this bulb may not be strictly necessary for your box turtle, since they generally do fine with cooler overnight temperatures. On the other hand, it makes a convenient set-it-and-forget-it, 24-hour heat source, especially if you use it with a thermostat or rheostat.<\/p>\n

It also provides enough light that you can see your pet at night. It is important to remember that the light emitted does not provide either UVA or UBV rays. If your pet does not get regular time outside, you will need a separate bulb that does provide these light rays.<\/p>\n

Light and Heat Output<\/h2>\n

The red glass used to make the Zoo Med Night Light Red Heat Bulb allows for better heat transfer than with coated bulbs. It’s available in several strengths, so you can choose the one that works best for you. Which one you need will depend both on the size of your habitat and the ambient air temperature. So the colder you keep your home, the more you will need to heat your turtle’s home.<\/p>\n
