Heating runs from heat mats and cords for small plastic tubs up to ceramic and spiral heat emitters for larger glass terrariums; emitters give off infra-red heat with virtually no visible light, which suits nocturnal species and lets you heat overnight without disturbing the animal. Every heat source needs a \u003cstrong\u003ethermostat\u003c\/strong\u003e — an on\/off unit is fine for a mat, while a dimming or pulse-proportional unit is the safer choice for a ceramic emitter, which runs hot enough to burn if it is left unregulated.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHeat emitters produce no UVB, so lighting is a separate decision. \u003cstrong\u003eT5 HO UVB fittings and tubes\u003c\/strong\u003e are the standard for basking species such as bearded dragons; UV output falls away long before the tube stops lighting up, so replace tubes on a schedule rather than waiting for them to fail. \u003cstrong\u003eLED Pro bars\u003c\/strong\u003e add visible light and plant growth for bioactive or heavily planted setups but do not replace a UVB tube.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor the inside of the enclosure, match the substrate to the species — coco peat and sphagnum moss hold humidity for tropical species and hatchlings, while desert sands and bark suit arid setups. Foam \u003cstrong\u003ebackgrounds\u003c\/strong\u003e, cork and rock hides, branches and \u003cstrong\u003eartificial plants\u003c\/strong\u003e add cover and climbing height, which matters more to a stressed animal than floor space does. Eco Tech also does \u003cstrong\u003estarter kits\u003c\/strong\u003e and a reptile \u003cstrong\u003eincubator\u003c\/strong\u003e with spare parts and incubation tubs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNot sure where to start? A kit matches the enclosure, heating and furnishings to each other, which avoids the common mistake of buying a terrarium and then discovering the lamp holder, thermostat and UVB fitting all need to be sized to it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"\/collections\/reptile-terrariums\"\u003eReptile Terrariums\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"\/collections\/reptile-heating-lighting\"\u003eReptile Heating \u0026amp; Lighting\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"\/collections\/reptile-habitat-accessories\"\u003eReptile Habitat Accessories\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"\/collections\/reptile-supplies\"\u003eAll Reptile Supplies\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","products":[],"url":"https:\/\/www.peekapaw.com.au\/collections\/eco-tech.oembed","provider":"PeekAPaw Pet Supplies","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
