8"x12" Reptile Heat Pad

This heater works okay to keep my habitat (12 x 15x 8)" about 70 degrees. I still need to use a heater in the room. This is for my hermit crabs. I left them at a friend's house to watch, and I forgot their heating element. It's important because the heat and moisture in the cage raise the humidity they can breathe. It isn't too warm, and I didn't want it to get any warmer, especially since I didn't get a regulator on this one. One way to make a movable is to put it on Velcro strips. The other problem is that it has no temperature control. As we saw, I keep a thermometer with my hermit crabs that shows both temperature and humidity, so I know exactly what they're living in. Amazon sells a thermometer and a humidity thermostat, so it's not that expensive. The size: 8"x12"; 16 watts; length of cord: 6fts. A 6 foot is a pretty decent size cord sometimes I've gotten things with 3 foot cord and then you can't plug it into anything. It's a straightforward heating pad. I think it depends on how much heat you want and whether this will be useful to you. They sell them in watts, and if you look for a higher wattage because you need more heat, that would be a good way to figure out which one would work for your tank. The more wattage would also require a greater price.

Works exactly as described and is doing well! I purchased this to keep the dubia colony warm and they are thriving.

I bought this to replace an old model of the same heater that got torn up in a move. I was pleased with the quality of the old one and this one looks the same. When l got this new one, the instructions recommended a side mount for best results. I am giving it a try. The adhesive is very sticky so installation was easy. The heater provides goid even heat with no risk of burns. The snake is opting to sleep outside the shelter on these cold mirnings, but as temps drop, he can move closer, having a nice heat gradient so he can find the just right spot to be comfortable.

It's easy to apply and gets to the right temperature (which is quite warm, but that's good), but if it's stuck to the underside of the cage it starts peeling off after a month or 2 of being constantly on. Most pads I've used do this, but I think it's a serious safety/fire hazard to peel off like that, so until they can come up with an adhesive that stays stuck, I don't think it deserves 5 stars.

This product works very well, especially for the price. I have bought a few of these over the last year and I haven’t had any problems, they are all working perfectly. You definitely need a thermostat when using this uth, it gets extremely hot without one but that’s to be expected. The adhesive is very durable and strong, I had to move the heater from one tank to another at one point and it’s still sticking well to the new tank. Overall this is an awesome product that gets the job done well.

Nice

This is the best heater I have bought for my snake tank its perfect size. Had it a few weeks and its perfect. If it last as long as the last one i had then perfect for the price.

It’s okay but loses the stickiness and had to tape up.

Have been running this heating mat for about a month now. I would not suggest using it without a thermostat as it does heat up quite hot. But it is amazing. Sticks great to the bottom of the tank and creates good steady heat.

Una placa de Calidad, sin duda una buena compra y recomendable. Llevo al menos un par de meses usándola y sin fallas. La coloco debajo de la jaula de mi erizo y emite el suficiente calor para mantenerlo a buena temperatura, sin ponerlo en riesgo de que se queme u ocurra algún accidente. Si a mi erizo le agrada, a mí también 🦔.

I bought the smallest heat pad (4x6) for a specimen plant. It is perfect. It fits around the inside of the pot and keeps the soil consistently warm.

It works well

Llevo mas de 1.5 años usandolo y sin ningun problemas, con su respectivo termostato
