- 4 sizes
- 4 to 24 W
- UL and cUL
- 2 to 8 degrees warmer
- 1 year warranty
The ReptiTherm bonds to the outside of your terrarium for good heat transfer. Zoo Med says it can bring the temperature up by about 2 to 8 degrees, depending on how it is mounted, the substrate, and other conditions, so it suits a warm spot or a secondary heat source more than heating a whole cage.
Which size to choose
Size | Heater size | Wattage | Tank size | Part number |

Small | 6 x 8 in | 8 W | 10 to 20 gal | RH-4 |

Large | 8 x 18 in | 24 W | 50 to 60 gal | RH-6 |
Setting it up
Outside only. Stick it to the outside of the tank, never inside.
Raise the tank. When it goes underneath, lift the tank on the included feet so the heat is not trapped.
Not for water. Do not use it on an aquatic tank; Zoo Med warns it can cause stress cracks.
Watch light substrates. With pine shavings or sphagnum moss, Zoo Med suggests Eco Carpet underneath, to prevent burns where your animal pushes the substrate aside over the heater.
It sticks for good. It adheres permanently, so choose the spot first.
Use a thermostat in a warm room
Zoo Med recommends a thermostat or rheostat if your home reaches 80 °F or warmer. We suggest running it on a thermostat either way.
