REPTI ZOO Reptile Heat Panel Adjustable Temperature Reptile Heating Plate, Non-Light Heating Solution with Expanded Heating Range for Hermit Crabs/Leopard Geckos/Turtles/Snakes/Lizards

Takes a little bit to warm up on initial startup, but it's perfect for a 10g terrarium. Bought two because of this. Temperature stays consistent if room temp stays consistent.

Should have listened to the bad reviews. I wanted this because it has the temperature adjustment. Yes, it puts out heat. But it’s only 7” away from the target and it’s barely above room temperature, and it’s on max setting. Totally useless.

I love it, just what I need. First this is not an infrared radiant heat panel that heat’s surrounding surfaces!, this is a mini heater. It heats up some metal wires and blows a fan to push the heat. It makes a lil buzzing noise too. My girls tank has pvc panels on top of the mesh to keep moisture in and this will help give some airflow in her tank with some extra heat. She has an under tank heat pad but I think this will help increase her ambient heat temps. The air flow is very light, I have to lic my finger then put it under the panel to feel anything. It’s been plugged in for only a few minutes and it already has one quarter all warmed up, I have a 2x2x4. I’m going to keep an eye on it, it may end up being finicky with having to check the temp often and manually open the tank and switch it off. Im not sure if it will hold up but I hope so, it makes for a perfect setup for now. It just is basically the quality of a hand fan with some hot wires.

I like that it has a fan to distribute heat however I had to get a ceramic heat bulb because the heat panel only heats to 75° which is way too cold for my tortoise. I probably would not buy again.

This is a good product. I use this in a red foot tortoise enclosure which is on my lanai in Florida. We do have cold days here and this was exactly what was needed to keep the enclosed side of the cage warm.

Heat panel works, but is not a sufficient heat source for a 4x2x2 reptile enclosure. It doesn’t keep temperature without several other bulbs helping to maintain heat and at night when other bulbs turn off it nearly froze my snake. Please go with a different radiant heating panel if you need nighttime temperatures above the low 70’s!!!

Radiant heat panels are great to use during cold weather or at night to keep temperatures stable. Unless you're using a very weak halogen bulb for Basking during the day with a UVB sourse, then there's no real need to have RHPs running during the daytime, you won't get anything more than a few degrees above room temp. If you live in colder climates or if your house runs cold, or if you use your AC a lot, then get a stronger Basking bulb and perhaps even a ceramic heat emitter and just run the RHP for a few hours at night.

This thing says it's recommended for tanks under 20 gallons. I have a 10 gallon tank and this heater wouldn't even heat up the surface of the ground that was like 3 inches away from it. I had to run out to the store and buy a different heater cause this doesn't work even when the knob is twisted all the way to the highest temp. It's not even worth the price.
