Zoo Med ReptiTherm Under Tank Heater, Medium

I purchased this for my king snake in December 2021. I had used this product before and while it warped it produced excellent heat for over two years. I have recently upgraded her habitat to a larger glass enclosure (repurposed fish tank) and purchased the medium sized mat. I placed the mat on the underside of the tank with some wooden rods to help with air flow. It worked perfectly until about a week ago, March 2022. Its warped and produces no heat. I double checked that the outlet was still getting power and it was. Theres no visible damage to mat or wire, slightly warped but still adhered to the glass. Overall very disappointed that the product didnt even last 3 months.

The description says this is an 8x12 heater for a 30-40 gallon aquarium, but I received a smaller heater for a 10-20 gallon aquarium. I reported the item was wrong and asked for a replacement, but got the same thing again. Zoo Med sells the 30-40 gallon size as a medium heater. This seller is selling a smaller heater but calling it medium.

It was just what my Geckos needed

Dead after 9 months!!! Thought I still had 3 months before I would need to buy again. Now I need to buy an emergency heat pad for my reptile!

Easy to set up, does it’s job and my gecko is happy. Make sure you have a thermostat with this! Zoomed is a great brand.

That its easy to use and it sticks well!

Generates enough heat to keep my feeder crickets alive in the winter (20g tank). All is good.

It is the best for my bearded dragon

Works just fine, ALWAYS put your heat mats or any heating element on a thermostat for your reptiles! The adhesion isn’t the best, simply use foil tape and tape the side of the mat to your enclosure.

Perfect for my gecko, although I had some issues with it peeling off. Make sure to use a thermostat as this can get hot.
