FAQ
Q1. How to use zoo med under tank heater?
Ans: Ensure the glass surface is clean before adhering the heater. It should be mounted to the outside of the tank, either on the bottom or the side. Using a thermostat with the heater is highly recommended to maintain safe and stable temperatures.
Q2. What temperature is the heater in the zoo med under tank?
Ans: The heater does not have a set temperature but provides a constant radiant heat source. Because it is designed to warm the surface of the glass, the final temperature in your enclosure will depend on the thickness of the glass and the ambient room temperature. Always monitor with a thermometer.
Q3. Do reptile heating pads go in or under the tank?
Ans: This heating pad is specifically designed to be mounted on the exterior of the tank. It should be adhered to the outside glass, never placed inside the enclosure where the reptile could come into direct contact with the pad.
Q4. Is this product authentic and imported from the USA?
Ans: Yes, all products sold at Rudra Retails are 100% authentic and sourced directly from the USA. We ensure that our inventory meets quality standards for international customers.
Q5. Are under tank heaters safe for ball pythons?
Ans: Yes, they are commonly used for ball pythons to provide belly heat for digestion. However, they must be used with a thermostat to prevent overheating and ensure the safety of your reptile.
