The 25W red-glass heat lamp from Zoo Med's Nano range — a miniature bulb on a standard screw thread, sized for small terrariums housing little reptiles, amphibians and invertebrates. True red glass rather than a coating, so it gives round-the-clock warmth with very little visible light. At 25W it is a gentle heat source; in a larger enclosure it will not lift temperatures meaningfully.
Features
- 25W — matched to small enclosures.
- True red glass — minimal visible light, suitable day and night.
- Standard screw base — fits ordinary and Nano fixtures.
Fitting
- Use a ceramic socket rated for the wattage — plastic sockets can soften.
- Position roughly 25–30cm from the animal and confirm the actual temperature with a thermometer.
- Run it on a timer or thermostat rather than continuously at full output.
- Replace when heat output noticeably drops.
