Question 1

Are Zoo Med heat lamps safe?

Accepted Answer

Zoo Med heat lamps are generally safe, but you do need to read the product instructions for safe use and follow them. Be sure to choose the right type of Zoo Med heat lamp for your pet's needs and be careful to connect it to a safe power source, too. Many reptile experts recommend turning certain heat lamps, especially basking lamps, off or down at night to simulate the normal day/night cycle and prevent reptiles from overheating.
