Exo Terra Daylight Basking Spot – Heat spot for terrariums
Exo Terra Daylight Basking Spot – terrarium heat spot for creating localised basking areas and temperature zones for reptiles.
The Exo Terra Daylight Basking Spot is a terrarium lamp designed for targeted lighting and heating of basking spots within the terrarium. The lamp combines visible daylight with appropriate heat radiation, thereby supporting natural day-night behaviour and the thermoregulation of reptiles. Exo Terra describes basking spots as lamps that combine visible light with appropriate infrared-A or NIR heat radiation.
The focused cone of light and heat allows you to create a local basking spot within the terrarium. Reptiles can seek out this area specifically to regulate their body temperature. At the same time, this creates temperature zones, allowing the animals to choose between warmer and cooler areas.

Directions for use
Only fit the Exo Terra Daylight Basking Spot into a suitable, heat-resistant terrarium fitting with a matching E27 base. The lamp should be positioned so that it creates a localised basking spot whilst also allowing your pet to seek out cooler areas within the terrarium.
Check the temperature at the basking spot and in the cooler areas regularly using a suitable thermometer. The distance between the lamp and the animal must be set so as to prevent overheating or the risk of burns. If necessary, use a protective grille and ensure that the animals cannot come into direct contact with the lamp.
The lamp must not be sprayed with water and is not suitable for areas that are constantly damp or wet. For reptiles requiring UV light, suitable UVB lighting is also necessary, as a basking spot does not replace UV lighting.
Zoo Roco Tip
A good basking spot is crucial for many reptiles so that they can actively regulate their body temperature. Once you have set up the spot, be sure to measure the temperature directly at the basking spot and compare it with the requirements of your species. Depending on the species, the height of the terrarium and the room temperature, a different wattage may be appropriate.
