Exo Terra Ceramic Heater – ceramic heat emitter

The Exo Terra Ceramic Heater is a powerful emitter for terrarium heating that imitates the natural heat generated by the sun. The long-wave infrared heat generated by this emitter warms reptiles very effectively. The infrared waves penetrate the scales and skin tissue, improving health and accelerating healing as it dilates blood vessels and improves blood circulation. It also increases the air temperature in the terrarium.

The far-infrared (FIR) heat rays emitted by Exo Terra radiant heaters not only provide radiant heat directly to the animal’s body, but also warm rocks or branches in the terrarium, just as the sun warms these surfaces in the natural environment. With Exo Terra radiant heaters it is easy to create warming zones, as you can provide heat directly where it is needed most. As the radiant heaters do not convert any energy into visible light, the heating efficiency is 100%, making them highly energy-efficient.

Reptiles are ectothermic and therefore need a certain ambient temperature to thrive. Exo Terra Ceramic Heater radiant heaters raise the ambient temperature and provide heat gradients for thermoregulation. As the radiant heaters do not emit visible light, the long-wave infrared heat they produce does not interfere with the day and night cycle, making them an excellent 24-hour heat source for animals.

The primary radiant heat and secondary indirect conductive heat of Exo Terra’s radiant heaters will allow reptiles to thermoregulate their body temperature to achieve the optimum temperature for increased activity and healthy digestion of food. Infrared radiation promotes cell growth, wound healing, supports the immune system, protects against UV damage and stimulates many other biological processes.
