"With seasonal changes coming (cooler nites) it's time for the night lights that add warmth and just a little light for viewing many reptiles. These do not disturb the reptiles either...my new very shy spotted python enjoys her branch all night under this cozy lamp, as does my larger boa constrictor and others. I recommend using with a dimmer, so you can adjust for the correct temperatures; help your "herps" be all they can be! Zoo Med is a good reliable brand too!"
