Infrared-A (IR-A) is a critical component of reptile care as it delivers deep-penetrating heat that closely mimics the warmth of natural sunlight. Reptiles rely on this type of heat to regulate their body temperature, a process known as thermoregulation, which is essential for digestion, immune function, and overall health. Unlike visible light or lower-wavelength infrared, IR-A penetrates the skin more effectively, reaching the muscles and tissues, ensuring that reptiles can warm their bodies efficiently.

WhitePython® IR-A Basking Heat Lamps are designed to provide this essential IR-A heat to your reptile’s enclosure, ensuring an even spread of warmth over their basking area. This helps your reptile maintain proper thermoregulation, promoting better activity levels, appetite, and digestion. These lamps are durable and energy-efficient, ensuring long-lasting performance, while also emitting small amounts of UVA, further supporting your reptile’s overall health.
