Substrate Heaters

Description du produit

Reptiles and amphibians are ectothermic or cold-blooded animals. Unlike endothermic animals such as mammals and birds, these animals cannot generate their own body heat internally. Instead, they rely on external heat sources to regulate their body temperature and carry out essential physiological functions. Reptiles are able to regulate their body temperature by moving between warmer and cooler areas (thermoregulation). In their natural biotope they use the radiant heat from the sun as a direct source, and surfaces heated by the sun like branches, rocks or the forest floor as an indirect source (heat conductor). In terrarium conditions, this is simulated by a heating system.
