Product Information

Shedding – adult Bearded Dragons are usually shed every few months to replace old and damaged skin. This process can be uncomfortable for them and sometimes cause them to lose appetite. Ensure your enclosure humidity levels are between 20-40%. Too dry will cause the shed to be more difficult. Warm baths can also help with difficult sheds. Fluker’s is another trusted maker of reptile products, from vivarium accessories to lizard food. They specialize mainly in bearded dragons and other lizards, though many of their products work well for snakes. Basking Bearded Dragons will use the energy from heat sources in their environment to power their metabolism.

For snakes that would naturally bask under the sun in the wild, heat lamps are a good choice. They’re designed to mimic the heat that the sun would give off on a warm day. Extra care should be taken with climbing animals to ensure they cannot reach the lamps as their surfaces get hot enough to cause potentially fatal burns to reptiles, and at distances closer than 12 inches, the UVB radiation from the Arcadia D3 Basking Lamp is excessive. Either locate the fixture so that it is impossible for your animal to reach it, or ensure the fixture or luminaire selected offers sufficient protection and use a mesh guard if necessary. Fluker’s sun dome has a mirrored aluminum surface inside. This helps to reflect light, increasing UVA and UVB output better than domes with white surfaces.You also want nighttime to be the same kind of environment as the wild. Their semi-desert environment in the wild would get cooler to around 70-75°F at night so you want your tank to do the same. For this, any incandescent bulb can be used (the type of bulb you use in table lamps or ceiling lights). However, it is important to remember that incandescent bulbs don’t provide UVA or UVB light (or heat) so this will need to be catered for separately.

It’s important to continue to test the bulb output with a thermometer and always have a spare bulb on hand in the case of a blown bulb. The bulb. This is the part that actually gets hot, and warms up your snake’s enclosure. The bulb may or may not also emit light. It screws into the lamp so that it can be affixed to the tank, or suspended above. There’s no correct time for this basking period but it may depend on how you have presented the food.

By switching off the lights overnight, you signal to your pet that it is nighttime now, which will prompt it to sleep.
