Zoo Med Creatures Dome Max 40w
A compact ceramic-socket dome built for nano and invertebrate setups. The Zoo Med Creatures Dome Max is a ceramic-socket lamp fixture rated to 40 W, sized for Creatures habitats, small terrariums and invertebrate enclosures where a full-size dome fixture would overwhelm the setup. It ships as the fixture only — you'll need to add a compatible bulb separately.
Key features
- Ceramic socket — handles heat that would melt a plastic-socket fixture, so it copes with hotter bulbs than a standard clip lamp.
- 40 W maximum rating — matched to nano and small enclosures rather than full-size terrariums.
- Reflective dome — directs light and warmth down into the habitat instead of out into the room.
- Compact footprint — sits neatly on a screen top without crowding a small enclosure.
- Purpose-matched bulbs available — Zoo Med confirms it works with the Creatures LED and Creatures LED Black Light.
What's included / what you'll still need
The box contains the dome fixture and its ceramic socket. It does not include a bulb — you'll need to add one separately, matched to the fixture's 40 W maximum rating.

Suitable for, and not suitable for
Suited to Creatures habitats, nano terrariums and invertebrate enclosures needing a compact heat-safe light or blacklight fixture. Not intended for full-size reptile enclosures needing a high-wattage basking or UVB fixture — step up to a full-size dome for those setups. Zoo Med's own compatibility statement names the Creatures LED and Creatures LED Black Light specifically; check any other bulb's wattage and fitting against this fixture's 40 W ceramic socket before use.
Safety
Position the fixture securely and keep it clear of flammable materials, bedding and enclosure decor. Always check a bulb's wattage against the fixture's 40 W maximum rating before fitting it, and allow the dome to cool before handling.
Warranty and delivery
Backed by a 1 year Zoo Med warranty, in addition to your rights under Australian Consumer Law. Ships as a standard parcel item.
Goes well with
- Zoo Med Creatures LED Black Light 5w — the confirmed-compatible bulb for fluorescence viewing of scorpions and other invertebrates.
Common questions
Does this fixture come with a bulb?
No. It's sold as the dome fixture only — add a bulb rated to 40 W or under, such as the Zoo Med Creatures LED or Creatures LED Black Light.
What size enclosure is this fixture suited to?
It's built for Creatures habitats, nano terrariums and invertebrate enclosures rather than full-size reptile setups.
Why does it use a ceramic socket instead of plastic?
A ceramic socket tolerates heat that would soften or melt a plastic-socket fixture over time, which matters even at this fixture's lower 40 W rating.
Can I mount it on a mesh screen top?
Yes — its compact footprint is designed to sit on a screen top without overwhelming a small enclosure.
