Zoo Med Laboratories SZMRH20 40-Watt Repti Therm Habitat Heater

My tortoise loves his blanket! I really didnt think he would because he is so big and stubborn! Yet it worked great. I liked the extra protection to the power cord and the even distributed of warmth. The plateform was easy to clean and move where ever I needed it to go.

I do recommend using a thermostat with it. Some larger tortoises, like above 150lbs, may not need one. Large non hibernating tortoises need heat from below in cold temperatures.

It’s everything it said it was. Easy to set up plug-in let it do its job. Very durable as well

Love this and so does my giant sulcata tortoise Shelly!

My five year old Sulcata has just been moved outside full-time and needed heat for his enclosure. I was concerned about letting him lay straight on the mat since he isn’t full-grown, so I fixed the mat to the wall of his enclosure. My tortoise seems to be fine and burrows in his substrate closest to the heater at night. I did have to purchase a thermostat separately to control the temperature and I’m still making adjustments to the settings. So far I am happy with the purchase.

Works great, keeping my Sulcata warm in the winter!

Does not project enough heat. Purchased for a Sulcatta

My tortoises love this. Its a hard plastic disc and they walk right up on it to sleep

I’m in southern NV so winters are relatively mild. This has worked great so far. My sulcatas love their heat pads.

It doesnt get that hot and I constantly have to check it to make sure its working at all. Putting a thermostat on it kept turning it off.
