Temperaturgradient

Alle Reptilien brauchen warme und kühle Zone. Bartagame: Sonnenplatz 38-43°C, kühle Seite 24-27°C. In Deutschland: OSB-Terrarien sind Standard — günstiger und isolierender als Glas.

⚡ CalcWolf Insight

Under-tank heaters (UTH) are better than heat lamps for nocturnal reptiles (leopard geckos, ball pythons) because they provide belly heat without disturbing the day/night light cycle. Use a thermostat with any heating element — unregulated heaters cause burns and fires.
