Throughout the night, during the daylight hours the radiation of heat from a light source, which enables the lizard to bask, is the preferred method.
When light bulbs are used in conjunction with “hot rocks” a wider variety of temperatures becomes available to the lizard. The “heating” rock can be positioned on the floor and strategically placed in the lizard’s environment. The specimen then has the option of climbing onto the device, where it can regulate its body temperature in much the same manner as it would by lying on a warm rock. For fear of the obvious hazards of electricity, these devices as well as all other electrical equipment should never be exposed to wetness unless it can be guaranteed that the unit in question is waterproof.
Humidity requirements for lizards vary from species to species, depending on the climate they come from. A climate is comprised of many different elements, including: mean annual temperature; precipitation; relative humidity; amount of sunshine/cloudiness; and wind direction and velocity.
