Zoo Med ReptiTherm Under Tank Heater For 10 To 20 Gallon Terrariums 6 Inch By 8 Inch

Create an optimal environment for your reptiles and amphibians with the Zoo Med ReptiTherm Under Tank Heater. This specialized heating pad is engineered to provide a 24-hour heat source for terrariums ranging from 10 to 20 gallons. Measuring 6 inches by 8 inches, this compact unit offers a uniform, localized heat surface essential for the digestive and metabolic processes of ectothermic animals. Unlike overhead lamps that may dry out the air, this under-tank heater provides conductive heat, which is often more effective for ground-dwelling species.

The heater features an adhesive backing, allowing for secure installation directly onto the underside or side of a glass terrarium. This flexibility ensures that you can customize the temperature gradient within your pet's enclosure to meet their specific needs. Engineered for safety and reliability, this unit is UL listed and serves as a dependable primary or secondary heat source for snakes, lizards, frogs, and small mammals. For precise control, it is recommended to pair this heat mat with a reptile thermostat to maintain stable temperatures and prevent overheating. Whether you are maintaining a tropical vivarium or a desert-style setup, this heater offers a discreet and efficient solution to support the health and comfort of your terrarium inhabitants.
