Hello! The Zilla Heat & UVB Basking Fixture would be a great addition for your Red-Eared Slider!

Hi! Depending on room temp, that will determine the terrarium temp with a heat/basking bulb. Ideal temperatures Leopard Geckos range from 75-80°F on the cool side and 80-85°F on the warm side. Provide a 90-95°F basking area on the warm side. While Leopard Geckos don’t need UVB to survive, UVA/UVB light has been shown to greatly improve the immune system, health, and wellness of all reptiles, both diurnal and crepuscular. Using a Low Profile Dual Fixture with a Zilla 50W Mini Halogen bulb and a Zilla Desert Mini Compact Fluorescent UVB Bulb will provide the correct heat and UV for your Leopard Gecko to thrive.

I would think if your are using the suggested bulbs in this fixture, it would be too hot for a crested gecko. This fixture with a 26w Uvb and a 25 w halogen get extremely hot. The actual outside will burn you. Cresties do best at room temperature. I have some of my cresties in bioactive enclosures with UVB and others in enclosures without it. Being nocturnal, they don't need it. This is not a light fixture I use with my crested geckos so I would not recommend it for that purpose.

It is important to create a thermal gradient (or a warm and cool side) in the cage/enclosure. This can be done with an appropriate sized Zilla Heat Mat adhered to the bottom of the tank on one side. Ideal temperatures for Corn Snakes range from 75-82°F on the cool side and 80-85°F on the warm side. Provide an 88-92°F basking area on the warm side. Using a Zilla Mini Heat & UVB Fixture with a Zilla 50W Mini Halogen bulb and a Zilla Tropical Mini Compact Fluorescent UVB Bulb will provide the correct heat and UV for your Corn Snake to thrive. While Corn Snakes don’t need UVB to survive, UVA/UVB light has been shown to greatly improve the immune system, health, and wellness of all reptiles, both diurnal and crepuscular. Make sure to place the light over the side with the heat mat to help create that warm side of the thermal gradient. Spot clean the enclosure for urates and feces once a week. Every 3 months remove all substrate in order to clean and disinfect the tank and décor.

Hi there! The glass would filter out the UVB benefits.

Hi there! These should be used with a screen top.

Hi there, this will shine throughout the majority of the tank. If you have any further questions about the gradient of heat and light, we encourage you to reach out to our friendly team of experts on the Zilla Consumer Care team at 1-888-255-4527. We're here to help!

It does not. I purchased a led spiral heat bulb that's supposed to be energy efficient.

Bulbs need to be replaced at a minimum of every 12 months, 6 months is even better.  To determine if uvb has degraded below your pets needs you must have a uvb meter to measure the bulbs output.  Just replace them once per year or less and you’ll be fine.
