Fire Book By John Courteney Smith

Product Description

This book is focused on ectotherms of course, but we also take a journey into the core function of photosynthesis in plants and the role and certain limitations of LEDs in the modern day hobby. We also cover how lamps actually work, advances and limitations to tech and then how to fit the most appropriate system in order to cater for the core needs of a species. We have also included a shortened version of our online hugely popular online ‘lighting guide’, covering some of the most popular species. A full version of this guide is found here and covers 140+ species, www.arcadiareptile.com/lighting/guide/

Fire is aimed at keepers who want to be able to learn how the sun works, how this has an impact on all life, and then how to replicate this within captive care.

Did you know that light is as much a part of amphibian nutrition as water? Understand the importance of heating and how UV-B is converted to usable vitamin D3.

Discover how a lamp actually works and how to get the very best out of it. See your own animals thrive in your care.

This easy-to-understand guide, the first in a brand new series will explain everything that you need to know to go on to further investigate and understand ‘overall nutrition’ while expanding on the ‘Theory of Wild Re-Creation™’.

Topics covered include: how the sun provides us with energy, how lamps work, UV, infrared, light meters, LED's, PAR, PUR, CRI, Kelvin, habitats, light & shade, MBD, basking and much more.
