Yes, they can get heatstroke, which although is nasty, can be curable. Simply take your hamster in it's cage away from any warm areas and place it somewhere cool and dark. A hamster with heatstroke will develop shallow breathing, and can often lie flat out on the ground, looking exhausted. See your vet for more advice.
why does the heat a snake feels from the heat lamp above him
If by light you meant a heat lamp then yes they do. They would need a heat lamp until they are fully feathered.
Once the chicks are properly feathered and they are acclimated to the ambient temperature outside the brooder box. Temperature in the brooder box should be near incubator temperature for at least 36 hours after hatch and can be reduced by 5 degrees F every week until it reaches about 70F. after that they can be introduced to the chicken coop or at least the heat lamp can be turned off.
Yes, they can. The operative word is 'can', as in ability, not preference. All turtles should be given the opportunity to get out of the water. They are cold water reptiles that need an outside heat source to warm up. I have a red-eared slider and a painted turtle. Both prefer to stay in the water 90% of the time. Occasionally they climb out, stretch out each limb under the heat lamp for a good drying out, then duck back under the water.Answer- no you will need to put a rock in there so it can busk by the heat lamp
The heat lamp would be installed where it is needed. The only place the lamp is not permitted to be placed is over a doors swing radius. This is in the electrical code to prevent a door that is left opened and in a position directly under the lamp. The heat from the lamp has the ability to raise the temperature of the door to its combustion point and set it alight.
Use a heat mat under the vivarium at the same end as the heat lamp.
Yes you can, however if you have a heat lamp you should get a heat mat (for under the cage) so he/she can have heat at the top and bottom of the cage.
Put It under a heat lamp

have the mom sit on it or put it under a heat lamp

An egg will cook quicker under a blow dryer than a lamp because a blow dryer will transfer heat much quicker than a lamp.
Yes! That's how they get their heat. If they're under a lamp in the water, the water will absorb and diffuse all the heat. A heat lamp made specifically for reptiles is a must too!
