Zoo Med Laboratories SZMRH20 40-Watt Repti Therm Habitat Heater

Love this heating pad for our red footed tortoise! Better price than at a pet store and very large size. I would purchase this again if needed.

My giant 90 pound tortoise loves it! I love it too, because now I don’t worry about him being outside in his igloo in the cold.

First one I ordered appeared to be used or a return and then got handed down to me for $81.00. It was shipped open box and was scratched up. Not the end of the world if it works good. lizards are going to sit on it. I was suspect to its condition so I plugged it in and let it sit for 1 day then 2 days. Ambient room temp to test, winter, was 71-72 degrees. The heater pad temps were all over the place on the surface. Many 72-76 degree spots. Some spots towards the center where above 80 and below 98 degrees. I bought this for 101-107 degree warming spot/plate. Sent the 1st one back and requested another to try. 2nd one looked unused and it did read higher temps from my infared heat gun measurements. Hopefully due to low ambient temp at the time, when summer is here 88-90 ambient this heater pad will see 110-112 degrees.

Tank and Wally love the heat.

just right for our turtle

First the product states it can be used around water then it states it cant be used around high humidity. Second, the package was pretty dinged up and when I removed it from the box it had a rattle as if something had broken loose

Does not project enough heat. Purchased for a Sulcatta

Warm but not hot. Tortoises love this pad. Don’t hesitate to buy.

My sulcata cant get enough of it, just what his pen needed in the chilly months since hes to big for his basking lamp to be effective by itself

Seems to be working for my two red foot tortises. I keep them inside during the winter, but the tile floor gets chilly. This is available if they want to get a warmup.
