Description

Exo Terra Infrared Basking Spot is a heating lamp that emits infrared heat waves. The spot lamp has a special build-in reflector to direct the heat in any direction required. The red glass transmits Infrared waves produced by the special filament of the bulb. The reddish light will not disrupt normal activity during night or day, which makes it an excellent 24 hour heat source.

Reptiles are ectothermic animals and therefore have the ability to thermoregulate their body temperature by moving from a warm to a cold point in their habitat and vice versa to maintain their preferred body temperature. The focused beam of the Basking Spot allows a stream of light and heat to be directed at a specific area, creating a warming point. This much warmer area will create a temperature gradient in the terrarium, allowing the reptiles to thermoregulate. All Exo Terra Basking Spot bulbs are manufactured from coloured glass to increase the penetration of heat waves, which also makes them highly energy efficient.

The Exo Terra Infrared Basking Spot is designed to provide a mixture of visible light combined with appropriate infrared or NIR thermal radiation. Reptiles use this radiation to bask because the sun produces most of its energy in the infrared segment of the spectrum, particularly in the near infrared or infrared A. Infrared radiation penetrates the skin. Infrared in general, but especially infrared A, penetrates the skin very well and promotes cell growth, wound healing, supports the immune system, protects against UV damage and stimulates many other biological processes. The Exo Terra Basking Spot allows reptiles to regulate their body temperature to increase activity and healthy digestion of food. The bulb also emits a small proportion of UVA rays, which contribute to the reptiles’ well-being and stimulate their reproductive behaviour.

About brand

Exo Terra is one of the most recognizable terrarium brands in the world and at the same time one of the manufacturers that has had the strongest influence on the development of modern equipment for reptiles, amphibians, and invertebrates. The brand belongs to Hagen Group, a family-owned company founded in 1955 by Rolf C. Hagen, and operates as a specialized segment focused on terrarium keeping. This is important because Exo Terra is backed by strong organizational resources, many years of experience in the pet industry, and extensive international distribution. For years, the manufacturer has been developing solutions designed to create more natural, functional, and modern conditions for exotic animals kept in captivity.

The Exo Terra range covers virtually all the basic categories needed to build and maintain a terrarium. The brand’s portfolio includes terrariums, lighting systems, heat sources, substrates, decorations, equipment components, humidity control systems, feeding accessories, and many complementary products. This comprehensive product range is one of the brand’s greatest strengths. For the customer, it means the possibility of building a coherent setup based on a single manufacturer. Exo Terra is present both in starter products for beginners and in equipment used in more advanced display terrariums.

For years, the brand has built its position on a combination of functionality, wide availability, and strong educational support. Exo Terra is not limited solely to selling equipment, but also develops materials that help users better understand animal needs and properly select equipment for specific species. This is important because in terrarium keeping, simply buying a terrarium, lamp, or decoration is not enough - what matters is how it is used and whether it matches the biological requirements of the animal. Exo Terra therefore remains an important brand both for people starting their journey with terrarium keeping and for more experienced keepers looking for proven solutions, a wide selection, and strong product compatibility within one system.
