What brands do you recommend?

One of the top brands currently is Arcadia Reptile. Theyre one of the pioneers of reptile heating and lighting industry, and currently make a majority of the products on this list! Arcadia is known to last the longest and produce the best quality products.

Will you be listing off all the supplies I need to set up my heating and lighting?

Yes! I have added heating elements and lighting, as well as their fixtures, dimmers, and thermostats! Themrostats are a big must have, as they need to be conntected up to ANY heating element (using a heating element without a thermostat can result in overheating, burns, and possible fires). Aside from themrostats, for snakes and some lizards, you will need a wire cage (this is non negotiable when using a CHE, using without a wire cage will result in immediate burns)

I dont see a product im looking for here, why is that?

There could be two reasons. One could be Im not aware of that heating element! Or, I do not endorse that product. Specialized "nighttime" products such as red bulbs, blue night bulbs, are harmful to your a reptiles circadian rhythm (weather they be diurnal or nocturnal) and their eyes. Here is a good link about red bulbs! Another product that is harmful to your reptile is heat rocks. Many people on here understand the dangers of them, however if you arent familiar with heat rocks, heat rocks are fake rocks that have a heating element inside. This product is widely known for harming reptiles, the most common issue is that it causes burns.

What lighting and heating should I use for my species?

This is NOT a comprehensive guide on lighting and heating for individual animals! Please do your own research, our "Reptile Research" page is a great place to start!
