Hi there guys, I was wondering if anyone knew much about ceramic heat emitters. I currently got a "Zoo Med Reptilecare Ceramic Infrared Heat Emitter 150W" as my Reptile one infrared 150W heat globe recently died after two weeks of use. I was told ceramic lamps are much more durable and come...

I bought a yearling diamond python as my first snake a few days ago and i have a couple of questions. 1. I had done some research prior and it mostly said to keep them at a 24-28 degree gradient but the breeder said i didn't need any heating besides a 7 watt heat mat only at night since i live...

Some questions about heating for a reptile, answers would be great 1. How does one know how high the wattage should be on a heat lamp? I know a care sheet might read '75w', but surely it varies depending on the height or size of the enclosure? 2. Do you only use heat lamps for an animal that...
