Zoomed Reptitherm Undertank Heater 10-20Gal 6X8

It is meant for him to have a heat source at night so I purchased the under tank heater. During the night he goes to the heat spot, and in the morning I find him taking a nap on it. The energy he has seems more intense now I have not had any problems with burn marks or broken glass, and I know that heat on their belly can help them digest. The instructions are easy to follow, so you will be good to go!.

Usually, it takes about ten to twenty minutes for it to heat up to its full potential. I would recommend purchasing a thermostat when getting this heater, as it is likely to reach over 120 degrees very quickly, causing your animal to be burned. A thermostat will keep your expenses from going up.

Did it feel like that six I still get heat from my lamp and it works perfectly. Despite the fact that it still sticks perfectly to my bottom tank, it hasn't moved. So far, the glass has not cracked and I've encountered no problems. I highly recommend this.

The heater does not heat up Although it is tied to one of your thermostats, I even set it on low, but it automatically heated the above-ground tank to over 120 degrees F even when the thermostat was set on the lowest setting. The carpet hit that even with a repti carpet above it it was It is very upsetting to me that I wasted so much money on something that would seriously harm my baby leopard gecko if I kept using it. There is no doubt that Zoo Med is better than this one. In my opinion, your product does not live up to the claims it makes and if this is the quality of the products you deliver in the future, I won't continue to purchase your products. No, I would not recommend it until you fix it in order for it to work.

The zoomed thermostat I am using may be creating this problem, or the mat itself may have caused it. I have the thermostat set at 91, however, and it only heats up to approximately 84-85 degrees In the future, I may buy a ceramic heat emitter instead of returning it. I think it will be best to make a heat emitter instead, since it doesn't cover a great deal of area. Could anyone reading this please tell me if it's the thermostat or the mat that's malfunctioning? Thanks a lot.

We've used these for many years to heat our lizard's tank because they are far safer than bulbs.

If the manufacturers were to give me another one and send it to me then that'd be wonderful but if not this will be the rating I give it since I received it open like it had been used it didn't heat up so this was my reason for giving it this rating.

Something else is better to buy. There is no recommendation for this, I had trouble using it, and it ended up dying within a week of use, unaware to me until my pacman frog died due to heat loss. While I periodically checked it, after my pacman got sick I couldn't figure out what was going on since the pad was on, but it was only heating the glass of the tank, not the substrate. So I put it on the bottom, However, it did not supply any heat to the substrate at all. Only the glass and plastic of the pad experienced any warming. The last resort, which I did, was to place it on the inside of the tank, covered it with mesh to prevent moisture from causing fire, and then covered that with the substrate. The pad kept the pacman nice and warm as well as my pacman got better. Until the pad stopped working within the week. In one week I had this keep the dirt warm for 3 days, but I ended up getting a regular heating pad and covering it with a no water spray to prevent water damage, and it kept the soil warmer for a week after it died.
