A Leopard gecko heat lamp is an electrical heating apparatus which can be placed over to increase the temperature with a few degrees. Heat lamps can be placed on top, or mounted above an open wire mesh screen lid. The immediate temperature can be adjusted by using different wattages and/or by increasing or decreasing the length between the lamp and the floor of the cage. Other means of Leopard gecko heating include heat pads. Leopard Gecko Heat Lamp Variations There are various Leopard gecko heat lamp shapes and sizes commercially available today. The most important variation is the heat output and is measured watts, higher being giving warmer temperatures. Leopard gecko heat lamp wattages typically range between 40 Watt to as high as 100 Watt. Always make sure to test the output of the heat lamp with a thermometer before its final mounting. Leopard gecko heat lamps can also be in the form of day lamps and night lamps. Leopard gecko day lamps are used during the days and has the addition of emitting visible light rays and can be seen by the keeper and the Leopard gecko. No additional lighting is necessary if day lamps are used. Leopard gecko night lamps does not emit visible light and is used to heat up the terrarium without influencing the photoperiod. A combination of these lights can be fitted. Leopard Gecko Heat Lamp Requirements The main two requirements for Leopard gecko heat lamps are that they must preferably not cover more than 25% of the floor area and that they must maintain the temperatures between 25 - 32 ºC / 77 - 90 ºF. Leopard Gecko Heat Lamp Warning Because there are different sized Leopard gecko heat lamps with different heat outputs, always make sure the temperatures are not too warm to prevent overheating. The heat pad should never cover more than about 25% of the floor space. If it does, it can cause serious overheating and death to a Leopard gecko. Always prevent direct contact with a heat lamp.
