Zoo Med Naturalistic Terrarium Hood, 12-Inch

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

Purchased this for a bird lamp for my parrot. Felt his cage and our home was too dark. Does the job splendid. Definitely can feel the mark up in price because it’s marketed as a reptile product and personally feel the price is hard to justify for what the product actually IS but couldn’t find any other like it that I wanted and bit the bullet. Plastic is a little thinner than I expected too.

Working great and fits the top of my small 12inch width) Exo Terra terrarium perfectly. I also have Exo Terras hood. However, I have the hood that will not take anything higher than 25W bulb. The 25W bulb was not enough heat for hermit crabs. So I put the naturalistic hood on the back (as the power switch is located on its back) for the primary heat source, and the Exo Terra on the front (as this switch is located on the side) to be able to adjust the heat on colder days/ nights.

I have 2 of the 12 s and 2 of the 24 I Love the look and the fit and the on and off switchs Wished they were more rust resistant........ The nochs in the 24 on fit my 5.5gals. Perfect but the screws rust pretty quickly

Needed second hood to go on my vivarium so I could add night light. Two will fit on one tank. Matches the one I have. What is nice about it is it takes up to a 60 watt bulb. The other brand only takes up to a 15 watt bulb. I feel it and it doesnt get overheated. So depends what your needs are.

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

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.

Perfect for what it is.

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.

Great product.
