Reptiles and amphibians are ectotherms, or
cold-blooded. Therefore proper heat monitoring equiptment is a very important factor
of the natural terrarium set-up. Reptiles are able to regulate their
body temperature partly through radiant heat from the sun, provided by
the lighting system or the Heat Wave Lamp
in terrarium conditions. In their natural biotope, reptiles also often
use surfaces heated by the sun, like branches, rocks or the forest
floor as a heat-conductor, So monitoring there terarium temperature is very important for the well being of your reptile etc... |
