It can often be important for many reptile species to have a reptile heat lamp turned on throughout the day. Make sure to place it near the UVB light source so that your pet might benefit from both UVB rays and heat simultaneously, and they can move to another part of the tank to cool off when needed.
To help mimic your reptile’s natural environment, it’s vital to have temperature control for both day and night. You’ll generally need to provide less heat at night, so a reptile thermostat with a timer will come in handy.
