Zoo Med Naturalistic Terrarium Hood, 12-Inch

it does the job a little bulky but it is what it is and havent had a problem

I really want to give this a better rating but there are key factors that just can’t be overlooked. This fixture is great for any bulb that doesn’t emit heat. You see where I’m going with this? They recommend bulbs that will fit in this fixture that are basking bulbs, night light bulbs, red heat bulbs etc. THIS FIXTURE MELTS with HEAT. Not a great combination. The only thing I use these for are plant growth bulbs. The Exo-Terra Reptile UVB 100, 13W Bulbs and similar products work well and do not melt the unit or the top of the cage. The pluses of this fixture are that it has a dual switch in the back so you can choose to have one side on or off or both on or off. The cord is decently long and it sits sturdily on top of the tank. Do not buy this if you are intending on using it for anything other that grow lights or viewing lighting. For those purposes only, there are much lower profile options out there but now I am stuck with these. I’ve learned my lesson.

I purchased my Zoo Med terrarium at a local pet store and was debating buying a clip on light or an actual hood like this one. Im SO glad I got this hood! It looks so much better than a clip on light would have and it works perfectly. It only has one light socket, so if you are looking for something with room for a day and night light, this isnt the hood for you. Its a great deal, and I would recommend it for a basic day light heating bulb.

This hood lamp works great for compact UVB lights, the metal reflector reflects the light great, and keeps the light bright!

Love using this for my UVB light for my bearded dragon.

looks good, the reflective sleeve throws off more heat than the standard aluminium heat lamp. very good value also.

Fits perfect on my Exo Terra, went with this one because it’s fits bulbs up to 60 watts.

This terrarium top is great! I have zero problems with it and it works and looks great on a zoo med naturalistic terrarium. I highly recommend this product for someone looking to get a good fixture for a low cost

Works great

Exactly 30 days and 1 week after purchasing, the hood began to blow out the day light bulbs that I placed in it for us. I used a 60w bulb as instructed. After 3 bulb replacements, and checking with the local pet store regarding the product, the hood is defective. I will not be able to replace this since it has been over 30 days since I purchased it. I will unfortunately have to replace the hood since the reptile I have must have this for its well being.
