Zoo Med Reptitherm Under Tank Heater – 24 Watt – 8 x 18 inch

The Zoo Med Reptitherm Under Tank Heater is designed to be an ideal 24-hour primary or secondary heat source for tropical or temperate reptiles. It is particularly suitable for tanks ranging from 50 to 60 gallons in size. The heater is UL/CUL approved, which means it meets safety standards set by recognized testing laboratories.

The heater utilizes a solid-state nichrome heating element, which efficiently generates and distributes heat throughout the terrarium. It is designed to be permanently adhered to the bottom of your terrarium, creating a solid bond that ensures optimum heat transfer. This design allows the heat to directly warm the substrate and provides a suitable temperature gradient for your reptile.

When using an under-tank heater, it’s important to monitor the temperature carefully to avoid overheating and ensure it meets the specific needs of your reptilian species. Using a thermostat or a temperature controller with the heater can help regulate the temperature and prevent any potential issues. Additionally, it’s crucial to follow the manufacturer’s instructions and guidelines for installation and usage to ensure the safety and well-being of your reptile.
