The Exo Terra Ceramic Heater is a radiant heat source which creates a natural sunlike heat with a uniform pattern. The long wave infrared heat produced by this emitter will warm reptiles very efficiently. It also increases the ambient airtemperature in the terrarium. Infrared heat penetrates the scales and skin tissue, promoting health and healing as it widens the blood vessels and increases blood circulation. *100% heat efficiency *Emits a natural “sun-like” infrared heat *No light emitted, does not disturb normal photo periods (day/night) *Solid ceramic element, suitable for humid environments
