Help and advice on shopping for: Terrestrial Gecko Heating
What heating does a Leopard Gecko need?
Leopard Geckos thrive in a warm environment, but they don't require high-intensity heat. A simple heat mat or basking light can create the perfect warmth they need. It’s important to set up a temperature gradient, so your gecko has access to both warm and cooler areas to regulate its body temperature.
How do I heat my terrestrial gecko’s tank?
To heat your terrestrial gecko’s tank in the UK, use a heat mat or basking bulb to provide warmth. Make sure you place the heat source on one side of the tank to create a temperature gradient, allowing your gecko to regulate its body temperature naturally.
How do I monitor my gecko’s temperature?
In the UK, maintaining the right temperature for your Leopard Gecko can be tricky due to the cooler climate. Use a thermometer to check the temperature in different areas of the tank and make sure the warm side stays between 28-32°C and the cooler side stays around 21-24°C. You may need to use a thermostat to keep the temperature stable, especially during colder weather.
