FAQ
Q1. How to use Zoo Med under tank heater?
Ans: The heater should be adhered directly to the glass bottom or side of your terrarium using the included adhesive backing. Ensure the surface is clean and dry before application. It is recommended to monitor the temperature within the habitat to ensure it stays within the safe range for your specific reptile species.
Q2. What temperature does the Zoo Med under tank heater reach?
Ans: The heater is designed to raise the surface temperature of the glass to provide a warm area for your reptiles. Because it depends on the ambient room temperature and the thickness of the glass, it should always be used in conjunction with a reptile thermometer to ensure precise thermal control.
Q3. Are under tank heaters safe for ball pythons?
Ans: Yes, when used correctly with a thermostat or thermometer, under tank heaters are a common and safe way to provide the necessary belly heat that ball pythons require for proper digestion and metabolic function.
Q4. Are the products on Rudra Retails authentic USA imports?
Ans: Yes. Rudra Retails specializes in sourcing authentic, high-quality beauty, health, and pet care products directly from the USA, ensuring you receive genuine items for your specific needs.
Q5. Can I use this heater for plastic tanks?
Ans: No. Zoo Med under tank heaters are specifically designed to be used with glass terrariums only. Using them on plastic or acrylic surfaces may cause melting or damage to the enclosure.
