Zoo Med Laboratories SZMRH20 40-Watt Repti Therm Habitat Heater

Saves the tortiose in winter months. I use them in a dry building where the tori can move on or off of them as needed. I will be putting two heat mats together to make a larger one. Wish they came even bigger for my 120lbs. Sulcatas.

Its perfect, my turtle is very happy, i use all days, it hot, but now my turtle its warm all day

Make sure its on a thermostat

Worked great keeping my Salcata warm during colder nights.

My Sulcata tortoises love the pad. Only problem is Ill need to buy another so the two dont fight over it. This thing is well made and tortious proof.

Used outside for my 2 sulcatas. Seems durable and keeps them warm. Compared to my ceramic heat lamp rated at 60 watts, this mat is more effective. I ditched the heat lamp and instead got a mat for each of the kids. The heat lamp also seems to dry out their skin. On another note, the packaging I received on my second mat has changed to show a sulcata. Smart move as sulcata owners are probably going to make up the bulk of purchasers of this product.

My little dinosaur loves this- so that makes me love it. There was a tremendous difference in his behavior before & after I discovered this & started using it. Before, on cold/rainy days he would stay in his igloo for several days at a time during the winter, he looked sleepy every time I peeked on him, hed barely move at all, & he wouldnt eat even when I put his favorite food right in front of him. After I started using this, even if he stays in his igloo on cold days when I peek on him hell typically look alert & comfy, he has an appetite, & sometimes he even comes out on a cold day because this helped warm him up internally. Its easy to rinse off, theres a red light indicator when the heating pad is on, & it truly does get warm. The 1st day I received it I tested it out myself. I sat on it for about 10-15 mins. By the time I got off of it, my bottom was toasty warm to the touch- but not in an uncomfortable way.

It is a good size and I like the thermostat capability.

I have purchased 2 of these. Works great to keep my African Sulcata tortoises (80 lbs, 25 lbs and 10 pounds) warm in the winters in Virginia.

Bought for my tortoises. Good material and heavy duty. Need to purchase a thermostat with it to keep the temperature in the correct range.
