Night Time Heat Lamp for Bearded Dragons

Although South Africa is part of a warm continent we experience very low night time temperatures during the winter with the outside temperatures being much colder than in your Bearded Dragons natural desert home.

South African homes usually lack the central heating that is standard in many European or North American homes.  I have measured room temperatures of lower than 10 degrees Celsius  in some of the rooms in my Joburg home during winter.

During these cold winter nights your Bearded Dragon requires extra heating at night.

The Exo-Terra Night Time Heat Lamp provides night time heat for your Bearded Dragon.

The dull purple glow will not keep your dragon awake and is less visible to your Bearded Dragon than an infra-red heat lamp.

The perfect night time heater for your Bearded Dragon

Suitable for all types of Bearded Dragon Cages: Glass, Wooden, Screen

How Long Does Your Reptile Basking Lamp Last?

May 13 2013  |   timothy  |  Reptile Products  |  Comments Off

At the recent Johannesburg reptile expo many visitors were purchasing cheaper reptile basking lamps mass produced in China.

I was surprised by the stories of how quickly these bulbs are blowing and how often people who are buying these bulbs have to replace them.

 

I installed a 75 watt Intense Basking Lamp manufactured by Exo-Terra ( PICTURE ABOVE) in my Bearded Dragons cage in January 2013.  The bulb blew this morning May 2013. The lamp was on for 14 hours per day. This means I got more than 2000 hours of use from a single lamp.

Moral of the story purchase quality basking lamps.

Picture of Tim’s Reptile Supplies Stand at the SOS2 Reptile Expo May 2013

I would like to thank the organisers for setting up a great event at a great venue

The show was a great success for Tim’s Reptile Supplies. We sold out most of our stock on the first day and all our snakes were sold by the end of the show. This success was due to  us selling quality products and quality live stock as well as the crowds of reptile enthusiasts that attended who were willing to buy the best products for their pets.

We also gave free advise to anyone who asked and many reptile keepers came away from our stand with new info about their reptilian pets.

There were so many great snakes for sale that we added some new snakes to our private collection.

A big thanks to all who attended the expo and to all those who supported Tim’s Reptile Supplies during the show.

Important Info For New Bearded Dragon Owners

April 25 2013  |   timothy  |  Care Sheets  |  Comments Off

Bearded Dragons may be the best pet reptiles around but they still require more care than a budgie or hamster . Read the following before you buy your Bearded Dragon.

Your Cage Setup Will Cost More Than Your Bearded Dragon

At present a baby Bearded Dragon costs around R100-R200 depending on where you buy it from.  A good starter cage with basking lamps, UVB lighting, substrates, calcium powder, thermometers can cost around R1000.

Second Hand Fish Tank Syndrome

Do not go home after buying a Bearded Dragon and dump it into a second hand glass aquarium without basking lamps or UVB lights.

Cant Afford A UVB  Lamp Don’t Buy A Dragon

Bearded Dragons need access to a UVB light without one they will get sick and die. If you cannot afford UVB lights don’t buy that R100 Bearded Dragon.

Buying More Than One Bearded Dragon

Bearded Dragons do not need friends . If you have never kept a Bearded Dragon Before always start with a single animal.

Bearded Dragons are Easy to keep If you Buy the Right Products

If you buy the correct cage, basking lights, UVB lights, substrate, calcium and thermometers your Bearded Dragon will be a happy healthy pet for the next 8-10 years. If you do not provide the correct conditions your Bearded Dragon will not be a happy healthy pet and it life span will be much shorter.
