Repticare Infrared Ceramic Heat Emitter (150 watt)

great product. works perfect.

I bought this ceramic heat emitter to keep my Beardy warm and toasty in his hot spot on his favorite log! Ive been using it for almost a year now with no problems! Just be sure to let it cool off for 15 minutes before handling, its just like a stove top!

I just bought my fourth Zoo Med heater, which does a great job of taking the edge off the cold for my small chicken coop. The problem is -- they all fail the same way -- the bond between the ceramic and the metal screw base lets go. I havent gotten around to exploring a way to mount it differently, maybe place it in a metal basket so the weight of the ceramic doesnt bear on the base seal. Anyway, its too bad such a great product isnt more reliable.

We are keeping chickens for the first time, and did not realize they would not sleep in the coop with the heat lamp on. This no-light emitting heater has solved the problem nicely during a very cold winter.

Keeps its warmth but the metal screw in part started to come off almost instantly. But it is here.

UPDATE: After almost 26 months, the bulbs element died. It never had a hiccup and we were a bit abusive with it (we moved, so it experienced frequent power disconnects, and we also misted our pythons cage). Regardless we are pleased with its longevity and will buy another one, even if cheaper brands are available. We bought this product after trying the 100 watt heat emitter. The 100 watt didnt give out the heat our Ball Python needed even with an under the tank heating pad, so we had to purchase this and a larger ceramic clamp lamp with a dimmer switch built in to accommodate it. Weve had it running for 3 hours on full power and the temperature in our 68 gallon custom cage has crept up to 79 degrees, comparable to our 100 watt Zoo Med infrared bulb that we were previously using. Its a cold day today, so I expect this will be typical for the colder winter days, where temps are in the 20s and 30s. Keep in mind that this is within the recommend temperature range for a Ball Python, and our under the tank heater runs about 87 degrees on low. On warmer days and during the summer, we may have to turn the bulb down or even shut it off altogether. This bulb should be perfect for the needs of our Ball Python, since he gets heat without light. With Ball Pythons, all that is needed for light is natural light. Infrared bulbs put out heat and light much like the sun does, so this can disturb a Ball Pythons natural cycles. To simulate a night cycle, putting your heat source on a hardware store timer so it shuts off for 8-10 hours a night is perfect, since they are nocturnal and respond to changes in temperature and sunlight.

this item works great. my snake is warm and i dont have to sleep the the dumb red light on anymore everyone is happy. get it today sleep better tomorrow lol

Ive been using this heat emitter in my water dragon vivarium and so far its kept up the temperature on the warm side of the tank these past few colder months.

Perfect for my hedgehog. Since she is nocturnal, the fact that it does not emit light is perfect. I have had this light running for a year and it is still going strong. With the use of a thermostat timer, it keeps her pen at 75 with ease.

I love this. I recently switched from a red light to this bulb. My snakes seem more alert and rested. The seller was great and checked in with me to make sure I was satisfied
