Zoo Med ReptiTherm Under Tank Heater, Medium

This stopped working after two months. Even when it was working, it failed to heat up the side of the tank more than 1 degree about the cool side. Id go with a different option. Unfortunately it stopped working right after I fed my snake and went out of town for a night. I havent seen him exit his burrow in a while now and I fear he wasnt able to digest his food properly, Ill be digging him up today.

This is a good mat for the price and for what’s out there. It got settled and heated up after a week it was stable. Adhesive lasted only a couple of months though and it came off and won’t stick back on! I did message the manufacturer and they are working on a replacement! This is still the best in the market but does have adhesive issue in my opinion. I have only tried 1 and will try another now, maybe just that one was faulty! Temperature stayed steady and stable.

I lied this guy up with a thermostat and it has kept my snake enclosure temps perfect!

Stays nice and hot, no issues there. Problem is the adhesive is not strong enough to keep it stuck on the bottom of the tank when the mat warps from heat about a year in. Dont have a lot of options so this may be as good as it gets... Note: for new reptile owners, you WILL need to buy a thermostat for this to control temperature, it gets hot! Up to 130F easily.

Perfect for attaching to the back of a 29 gallon for our giant Madagascar day geckos. I found a bamboo drawer organizer to put against the glass so they dont burn their bellies. They mostly hang out right over where the corners of the mat are. I like that its large enough they can go to the nice toasty middle or a cooler corner area.

This product does work but just not as I expected. It sticks to the bottom of the aquarium tank glass well after almost a year. The missing expectation is that it just doesnt provide much heat at all even when I put my hand directly on the glass above it. I have wondered sometimes why I even bother keeping it plugged in.

Its doesnt heat up all they way , its just getting like warm. Iv plugged it straight into the wall and doesnt heat up and into a thermastat and doesnt heat up just like warm.

Works just fine, ALWAYS put your heat mats or any heating element on a thermostat for your reptiles! The adhesion isn’t the best, simply use foil tape and tape the side of the mat to your enclosure.

I like everything about this heating pad except for the adhesion. This is replacing one that had the same issue and it’s replacement stayed adhered, but eventually just quit working. At the time of adhering the original one, I only had the tank on the tiny spacers that come with the product. The company did replace it and my husband welded a stand that allows for much more air flow. The replacement worked for about a year then quit. I ordered this one and after about 6 weeks it has fallen right off the tank. I do have one other tank with one on it and it is still adhered. When it works it is great and I’m completely satisfied, but 2 of 4 have come loose with what I thought was proper ventilation and 1 of 4 just stopped working.

Use in 24x18x12 terrarium, leopard gecko is very happy. Love the size, works as it should.
