LEOPARD GECKO ENCLOSURE GUIDE

When setting up your leopard gecko enclosure there are a few different options for heating; halogen basking bulbs, heat projector bulbs, radiant heat panels, and belly heat. Depending on how you would like to heat your enclosure you'll want to select different options when customizing your PVC leopard gecko cage.

These layouts and product recommendations are just a baseline and general guide. Reptile keeping is an art and requires experimenting along with close monitoring to find out what bulb wattage and configuration will work best in your application. We always recommend manually checking with an infrared temp gun and a high quality thermostat to monitor and regulate temps.
