DETAILS

Description

Zoo Med Repti Basking Spot Lamp achieves an appropriate basking site for your pets through a combination of bulb shape and the patented double-reflector focus of the beam. Rather than a broad scope of heat flooding the whole habitat, it focuses a beam of infrared down into your pet's habitat on the hot side, allowing your pet to comfortably thermoregulate.

- Ideal for regulating terrariums that house either tropical or desert varieties of reptiles and amphibians
- Provides heat as well as beneficial UVA rays
- Basking bulb promotes breeding, feeding and overall physical and mental health in your pets
- Features a unique patented double reflector
- Focuses 35% more heat and light into a tight beam for greatest effect
- Reptile heat lamp can last up to 2,000 hours

Customers say

Customers praise these basking lamps for delivering excellent, reliable heat that reptiles actively seek out, with many reporting their pets thrive under consistent warmth. The 75W and 50W options effectively raise tank temperatures, eliminating need for additional heaters. Multi-pack deals offer strong value and convenience, with reviewers appreciating cost savings and having spare bulbs available. However, a substantial portion report significant durability concerns, with bulbs failing within weeks or months despite proper use, contrasting sharply with past products lasting over a year. Despite effective heating performance, inconsistent bulb longevity frustrates many customers and deters repurchase.

Ive been using this brand for about a year, and consistently they burn out and stop working within a month of using for maybe 8hrs a day. They dont last and are not worth the money.

No, I do not recommend this product.

Customer Care

Hi there. We never want our guests to receive anything less than great quality. If you’d like to look into this further, please contact us through petco.com/contact-us.

I have used Zoo Med for ages and their 50 watt basking lamps last a long time. I am glad Petco carries them since they are easy to get online or in store.

Yes, I recommend this product.

I keep buying these because the specified heat is what I need for my bearded dragon but they just don't last. Since January I've gone through a bulb every two weeks. There's got to be a better bulb out there.

No, I do not recommend this product.

Bought these for our tortoise. Lamp just sits on top of his tank, is turned on every morning and off every evening. First bulb blew out after about 2 months. And the second bulb last almost 4 months. Pretty annoying to spend $13+ per bulb and they last just a couple of few months each. I'll be looking for a different brand to replace the bulbs this time.

No, I do not recommend this product.

A bulb may last for several (3-4) months, or it may fail after less than one day. It seems that every "value pack" contains one of each.

No, I do not recommend this product.

Good price on the 2 pack of bulbs however I am disappointed in how fast the bulbs burn out sometimes. I might get 3 months on a bulb and then have the next one burnout after 3-4 weeks. I have been using this brand for a couple years now and will try another brand the next time I order. Price, delivery, cost and customer service with Petco has been very good.

No, I do not recommend this product.

I live out in the country. We have a Petco but it’s still 25-30 mins away. I didn’t have the time to run to town and back for a light bulb so I ordered it online. Was supposed to be next day delivery. Arrived 3.5-4 days later. Box was thrown into the middle of my yard and was on its side. Box was so large I could have ordered 9 more packs of bulbs and still have room left over. Whoever packed it didn’t even use packing paper or bubble wrap. Needless to say, bulbs broke from improper packing and carrier being the worst delivery driver one could get. I still ended up having to go to town to exchange broken bulbs. I actually didn’t even open it until I got to Petco to show the manager what a garbage experience this whole process was. NEVER ORDERING ONLINE FROM PETCO AGAIN. Amazon would have been better in every facet possible and that’s really saying something.

Yes, I recommend this product.

These suck! The box of two I purchased lasted a month each. Bought a single bulb from another pet store, it lasted a little over 3 weeks. They are terrible and will put your reptile in jeopardy.

No, I do not recommend this product.

will this be a good lamp for 1 leopard gecko, in a 10 gal. tank?

6 years ago
I use it for my aquatic turtles in an open environment so I can't really tell you how effective it is in a tank. I'm not familiar with how hot it needs to get in there for geckos, but it works well for basking and my turtles seem to enjoy it. I keep it about 10 inches away or it gets hot. As far as durability, I've had some last for 4 months and some last for over 7 months.

is this good for hermit crabs I'm having trouble with their cage temp.

11 years ago
Hi pumpkin22, I would say that if you are looking for a heat source for your hermit crabs this would not be the set to go with as this is just meant to illuminate the cage in the day and night...just add a little boost for them. For the most part it is just so you can see them and they can see a little better in the dark. I am going to be using this for my Crested Gecko as they have a pretty natural temp requirement, above 70 and below 82 degrees (room temp). I hope this helps you out a little.
