FAQ
Q1. How to use zoo med under tank heater?
Ans: Ensure the surface of the terrarium is clean before applying the adhesive backing. For best results, it should be attached directly to the glass. If placed under the tank, always use the included rubber feet to provide a necessary air gap for safety and ventilation.
Q2. What temperature is the heater in the zoo med under tank?
Ans: The ReptiTherm Under Tank Heater is designed to provide a gentle, consistent warmth for reptiles. It does not have an adjustable temperature setting, so it is recommended to monitor the surface temperature with a thermometer to ensure it stays within the safety range for your specific animal species.
Q3. Are under tank heaters safe for ball pythons?
Ans: Under tank heaters are commonly used for snakes like ball pythons to provide belly heat for digestion. However, it is highly recommended to use a thermostat to regulate the temperature and prevent the glass from becoming too hot, ensuring the safety of your pet.
Q4. Is this product authentic?
Ans: Yes, all products sold by Rudra Retails are 100% authentic USA-imported goods. We source our inventory directly from verified USA distributors to ensure you receive genuine Zoo Med products.
Q5. Where to place under a tank heater?
Ans: You should place the heater on the outside of the terrarium floor, typically covering only one-third of the floor space. This allows your pet to move to a cooler area of the tank to thermoregulate, which is essential for their health.
