VIVOSUN Reptile Heating Pad 8x12 Inch with Thermostat Combo Under Tank Terrarium Heating Mat Waterproof for Turtles, Lizards, Frogs, and Other Reptiles

I got this for my daughters new ball python after reading all the glowing reviews. It was pretty easy to set up, but the suction cup to hold the temperature probe does nothing - had to swap it out with a completely different one - and so far, its just not getting to the desired temp. Its warm, just not warm enough, even after setting the temperature gauge where we want it. Im swapping it out for a more expensive, but more recommended by the pros one, but Im still going to keep it as a backup in case the other one goes out/for when it will. The lights on the thermostat are also very bright, just as a warning if its going in a bedroom.

Wouldn’t recommend or buy again. Keeps falling off of tank.

This is working well for my ball python tub. I have a second thermometer to monitor and it is working really well for its purpose.

Perfect temperature when controlled with a thermostat. It really maintains the proper temperature that we have it set for.

Pairs perfectly with the Vivosun thermostat. Working great so far.

I was well aware of the size of the product it’s easy to use and set up which I like It just doesn’t really give off much heat at all like the temperature is only 2° above the temperature in my house which is insane I have it under a small storage container for my Dubai roaches so I would not recommend this product if you want more heat I would suggest getting a bigger Matt

Excellent adhesive, easy to mount.

*UPDATE* Upon further research, these heating pads are NOT designed specifically for reptiles and amphibians. It performs the same job in that it will heat up like a heating pad should, however, it doesnt stick to the glass. This is very important for animal owners to understand. This heating pad is actually made for warming soil in the process of growing plants. People place these heaters under planters to keep the soil at the correct temperature for the seeds to grow. Just buy a Zoo Med pad. It is a much better product that will last you months. When the adhesion wears off (and it will like all adhesion formulas do) use electrical tape to tape the pad to the glass or buy a new one. There is no pad that will stick forever. That product doesnt yet exist. The 3M adhesive is garbage. I stuck it on directly to the bottom of my glass enclosure. Checked my animal the next morning expecting him to be warm but he was super cold. I check the heat pad under his enclosure and the pad was completely off and laying flat on the cabinet surface. This product is garbage, go with a Zoo Med pad instead.

My gecko has done AMAZING since switching to this heater! Very good coverage and the added temp switch is a GREAT touch. Its insane that for this pricing it is BETTER than the high dollar tank heaters.

The worst part about caring for reptiles is the constant need to replace cheaply made heating and lighting products sold by the big pet store brands. THIS HEATING PAD IS STILL GOING STRONG! Jake the snake says it is warm and it still works so were both happy with it.
