Would this lamp be an acceptable heat source for sugar gliders?

Yes, it would work great, and you can adjust how hot the bulb can get with a little non on the side, so it's perfect for them.

No this would not work for what you need this is a replica of sun for reptiles. I have owned Cockatiels before and never used any bulbs on them just gave them natural sun light, you might b better off asking a bird specialist sorry i could not b of more help but i will ask around for u.

You can and I do. I have two mini lamps for heat and one for UVB. It works out very well.

Yes. The lamp shade does not have to be used. An interesting or different light bulb should work well.

My sugar gliders seem very happy. There is enough room to add a felt jungle with pouches. I think it was a really good investment.

B. Pollock, I'm sorry I'm unable to answer this question for you. I'm not sure if you are wanting to add a lamp for your bird. Perhaps an electrical person could better answer your question. I can only say, I check his perch each morning when I let my cockatiel out of his cage and again in the evening when he return's for bed. It's been very consistent in the way it distributes the heat. The end where it's attached to the cage is less warm than the tip. It did take 2-3 weeks before he was willing to try it. I now find him on it fairly frequently and always seems to be on the days when our room is cooler. I've found him on the perch as far as, say 2/3's of the way down the shaft. I was a little concerned of my purchase after having read that it'd burned or could burn a bird's feet. However, I found that a little odd, I can't imagine a bird sitting on something that was burning his/her feet. The perch is a little slippery too. I've been considering wrapping it with a hemp twine or other yarn or something similar. Sorry I couldn't answer your technical questions. I doubt this helps but, good luck on what you're wanting to achieve. Best of luck, Michelle E.

Metal bars would get way too hot. The lamp cover/ shade I use in my tortoise enclosure get hot enough to leave 1st degree burns if I am not careful when reaching into it. I would suggest something else.

I've used this for over a year in an outdoor tortoise enclosure (the lamp is inside their "house") and I do use a ceramic heat emitter for night time heat. It is obviously not on at the same time as the basking lamp in the other socket. I haven't had any issues.

Yes...our sugar glider likes it...you will need to ziptie the bottom of the cage to the outside frame of the cage...our sugar glider was escaping between the large holes between the bottom and outer frame until I ziptied them together every 3-4inches....now all is good

The bulb base is extremely hot, it's more of a safety concern than a heating issue for a tank, but at 2gal , I wouldn't be surprised if it heats your tank.

Yes that will be fine, also remember to use a incandescent bulb for a heat source. Also, make sure u use a calcium powder on the Crickets prior to feeding them to ur lil guy

I found that this light does generate a considerable amount of heat. I would not recommend it without proper air circulation.

This bulb is a spot lamp bulb not like other bulbs. the fouces a beam or channle of heat to one area were normal bulbs scatter heat. so they will help heat a the basking area, theses do over heat very eay. do not use mimi dome lamps were theres isnt wide enough. my beared dragon would only bask around this hot zone never dirrectly under it wich did lead to him stay at temps around 85 or 82 degrees. even rising the lamp dome up higher didnt help. be care full of theses bulbs.

Its not safe for them I suggest using a heating lamp with about 75 watts.its unsafe because the heat can burn them alot easier since they are not used to receiving a heat source from underneath. Hope this helps. Good luck!

I dont think it would be warm enough. Even in mild temperatures I have to have a heat lamp in it.

Uncertain... Heat lamps put out quite a bit of heat...which is usually not very compatable with plastic.Sorry! Hope that helps a little!Suzy Q

My answer would be a "Yes". Though my Tortoises only use this box during summer months but a heat lamp would not hurt the metal grates on this T House.
