These are a good heat source for reptiles or even baby birds or chicks. Anytime you need a heat source these work. They are expensive but I've seen them last for years, so are well worth the price. They provide heat without light.

Pros: good heat source, easy to use

Cons: expensive, breakable

Snakes and other reptiles need full spectrum lighting to support healthy bone growth. This lamp provides heat, which is also very important but reptiles should also have real light to provide UV rays during the day.

Pros: Provides heat

Cons: does not provide UV light

I use these when I have a litter of puppies in the winter! They work excellent! They are more expensive than other heat lamps or lightnulbs, but they do last a long time! (Even when I knock them over!)

Pros: Lasts forever

Cons: Expensive

These are efficient and don’t mess with the natural light cycle. They do get extremely hot, so make sure it isn’t in a place where the pet can get burned.

Pros: Long lasting, no light

Cons: Burn danger

While these heaters are more expensive than other types of heaters. You will save money in the long run with these! I had one that lasted for 6 years!

Pros: Last forever!

Cons: Expensive, initially.
