Fluker’s Hermit Headquarters 5.5-in Hermit Crab Lamp With On/off Switch, Black

• Offers specific conditions for your hermit crab to thrive, including temperature and day-night cycle.
• Provides an effective lighting solution that promotes physical and behavioral wellbeing.
• Crafted with a 5.5-inch ceramic socket to hold incandescent light bulbs and features an on-off switch for lighting control.
• Created with a metal reflector to increase heat output and a 6-feet power cord that lengthens for use with different enclosures.
• Use with caution—never allow your pet to climb up the lamp, avoid placing food directly under it, monitor the enclosure’s temperature to prevent over or underheating.

Choose the appropriate wattage of the incandescent light or ceramic heat bulb for your hermit crab’s enclosure based on the size of the enclosure and the temperature requirements of your hermit crab. Refer to the instructions on the packaging of the bulb to choose the right one. (75 watt max) Screw the bulb into the ceramic socket of the lamp, making sure it is secure, but do not overtighten. Place the lamp on top of the enclosure and position it in a way that directs the light to where it is needed. For instance, if you need to provide heat to a particular area, place the lamp closer to that area. Plug in the lamp into an electrical outlet and turn it on using the on/off switch. Observe the temperature within the enclosure using a thermometer and ensure that the temperature remains within the appropriate range for your hermit crab’s well-being. Adjust the distance of the lamp from the enclosure accordingly to maintain the desired temperature. It’s important to maintain a day-night cycle within the enclosure. Turn off the lamp during the night to ensure that your hermit crab gets enough rest. Regularly check the lamp and its components for signs of wear and tear. Replace the incandescent light bulb when necessary.
