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

Not really sure how small of a container I would need to use in order for the heat pad to be worthwhile, but it is what it is. I just use it with another heat pad at the same time to maintain a temperature that I need. Wish I could just return the pad for 10 bucks or whatever.

Good product. Keeps my leo nice and warm

The whole controller gets super hot and won’t let me lower the temp it started going up a few degrees a day until I just had to unplug it as it won’t let you turn it down. A real safety issue

It does what its supposed to.

I replaced a standard heat mat with this unit and man I enjoy it! Before hand I was using no temp control to this is a huge bonus for me. simple and fast! Tip: dont throw the mat on cold concrete, add a layer of insulation!

Great product, keeps the temperature where I need it. So I dont have to worry about it why I am at work.

Worked great for about a month-ish with only a 2° variation which is pretty good at this price. Then as I went to change the setting as I do every morning to day/night cycle my snakes enclosure, the LCD failed. It thankfully still works, but I cant read the display so Im forced to check it with my laser thermometer after an hour or so. The design isnt well thought out at it uses membrane type buttons and they just put a flexible cover over top of the entire unit which pushes against the screen. I dont push it very hard but due to the design its built in a way that almost guarantees it will fail if you have to change the settings daily. If you plan on using this one I highly suggest a seperate thermostat controller so you dont have to touch the thermostat itself. More cables and space needed to do so but if temperatures need changed at any point its absolutely necessary with this thermostat. Also the heat pad adheres good and after the first 5 hours it will stay at the temp you want very well. It has a hard time adhering to the spot that you put the temp probe. I had to add tape to the spot with the probe as it fell of the first day. If you have a setup where you dont need to probe directly on the mat this wont be a problem for you. I have a glass enclosure so it is required, and needs tape to hold half the mat up.

My geckos love it. The female will go over and lay right up next to it for hours and hours, the male doesn’t use it as much but she loves it.

I paired this heating mat along with the Vivosun heating controller. Together they are working great. I use these for under my new starter seedlings in my mini greenhouse to help keep the soil at 25C. Keep them happy and healthy. I will also be using this under my cloning tray when I take cuttings to get them to root faster!

Its now been at my set temp for two days and nothing has changed refuses to go up/down in temp for whatever reason wont change temp either directions are very simple but apparently it doesnt work
