   Some reptiles also require some form of Ultraviolet radiation which can be provided through a UV bulb. The lighting can be set to a timer to simulate a day/night cycle. Heat emitters are usually placed at one end of the enclosure to allow for a temperature gradient, so a reptile may move to the other end of the enclosure if it needs to cool ...

3. Infrared sensing in snakes - Wikipedia

   What is commonly called a pit organ allows these animals to essentially "see" [1] radiant heat at wavelengths between 5 and 30 μm. The more advanced infrared sense of pit vipers allows these animals to strike prey accurately even in the absence of light, and detect warm objects from several meters away.

4. Nocturnal bottleneck - Wikipedia

   Unique type of brown adipose tissue, allowing mammals to generate heat quickly. [10] Mitochondria with respiration rates five to seven times higher than those of reptiles of similar size. [11] Fur to assist in thermo-regulation in a cold (night) environment. Lack of an ocular shielding mechanism against (diurnal) ultraviolet light. [12]

   The enclosure should be allowed to cool down at night, but should not get colder than 60 °F. Sudan plated lizards should also be provided with a high quality T5 HO (desert) UVB lamp half the length of the enclosure and placed on the same side as the heat lamp.

6. Infrared heater - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Infrared_heater

   A heat lamp is an incandescent light bulb that is used for the principal purpose of creating heat. The spectrum of black-body radiation emitted by the lamp is shifted to produce more infrared light. Many heat lamps include a red filter to minimize the amount of visible light emitted. Heat lamps often include an internal reflector.
