Crested Gecko Lights & Heating Pads
Crested geckos are adorable and docile pets that require minimal care and can even enjoy a lifespan of 10–20 years! Crested geckos do best in a habitat with a temperature gradient, which means there are warmer and cooler areas to allow the gecko to choose the temperature they like at any given time. Crested gecko heat lamp and lighting help you achieve the best environment for your gecko. Some types of crested gecko heat lamp and lighting to choose from include:
- Basking lighting: Incandescent, infrared, and ceramic heat emitter lights are generally used to CREATE basking areas in the habitat
- Lighting for day and night: Crested geckos are nocturnal, so it's good to provide different lighting for night and day (or turn off lights at night)
- No heat pads: While some reptiles and other species enjoy heating pads and heating rocks, these are not good for crested geckos and should be avoided in the tank
- Combo bulbs: These bulbs provide both light and heat
Use thermostats to regulate and thermometers to monitor the temperature in your pet's enclosure. Temps should not exceed 80 degrees Fahrenheit during the day and 75 degrees Fahrenheit at night. Chewy offers a variety of crested gecko heat lamp and lighting options that your little friends will enjoy. Consult with your vet if you have questions regarding what type of lamp may be best for your crested geckos.
Frequently Asked Questions about Crested Gecko Lights & Heating Pads
What kind of heat lamp does a crested gecko need?
A crested gecko requires a low-wattage heat lamp. The temperature in the habitat should never exceed 80 degrees Fahrenheit. A ceramic heat emitter (CHE) bulb or incandescent bulb are some choices for crested gecko heat lamp and lighting, just pay attention to the wattage and how close you place these to the top of the habitat.
What lighting does a crested gecko need?
Crested geckos do well with a regular day/night light cycle. You can use a white LED light during the daytime to help regulate their circadian rhythm. At night, switch to infrared, nocturnal bulbs, or no lights. Some people recommend providing UV lighting for about 10 hours each day, which may affect your daytime light choice. Consult your reptile-savvy vet for advice on the best crested gecko heat lamp and lighting setup for your gecko.
Do crested geckos need UVA or UVB light?
While not required for survival, a UVB light that offers low-levels of UVB to mimic their natural environment can be used with crested geckos. When using a UVB lamp for crested geckos, choose a bulb with a very low percentage of 5–7% (for shade animals) and follow directions for placement distance. Consult your vet with any questions regarding crested gecko lighting.
Do crested geckos need a heat lamp during the day?
Yes, crested geckos can benefit from a low-wattage basking light during the day. They are ectothermic, which means their body temperature is regulated by their surroundings. Incorporating crested gecko heat lamp and lighting can help promote natural behaviors.
