Reptile Heating Pad, 23W Temperature Adjustable Under Tank Heater with Adhesive for 30-40gal Tank, Waterproof Heat Mat for Turtle, Lizard, Snake, Reptile, and Other Small Animals, 12x8 inch

Ordered this to use under my son's hermit crab tank, to replace the inappropriate lighting that was sold to us with the set up. I use a similar heating pad under my leopard gecko's tank. This heating pad worked as expected, heating up quickly and maintaining the heat once it was done heating up. Great, affordable option for animal habitats requiring heating.

We got this to help warm up an emergency use critter keeper that we use when we need to pull our lizard out of her main tank for any reason - evacuation, cleaning, whatever. This helps keep her warm when she can't have her heat lamp and it works very well.

As the winter weather and lower temps approach, we thought to augment the infrared bulbs for the ol lizard aquarium. Seeing as it sits near a window for some natural light, it also can get pretty cool in there when the temps are in the 20's.No problems! This pad took care of the issue and was easy to implement. We placed the normal sand/pebble/rock mixture used on the floor and just placed the mat under it with a piece of filter paper as a cover for the heating pad...the coed was concealed with a tree branch already in place as decor. Checked & set the temp using an noncontact thermometer and the deed is done! Mr. Beard (bearded dragon) discovered the area immediately and apparently enjoys having a much larger warm zone than before!This mat is a great value no matter how you use it, with or without the adhesive pad. My wife wants another one of these to use as a seeding/germination mat as well. What really matters is that Mr. Beard likes it and I had no issues setting and maintaining the approximate 85°~90° temp. Two thumbs up for a nice heating mat!

I didn't use any kind of "Adhesive" with this, so I can't say it sticks to anything, but it doesn't move around easily either, so nothing wrong there. Other than that, it heats up, and maintains a consistent temperature for your pet.

This heating mat works great. It heats up quickly and retains heat well. This should certainly be used in conjunction with a thermostat, but if for some reason the thermostat fails it does not get so hot that I would worry about my animal’s wellbeing; it seems to max out at about 130°F, which for most of our herps is still within their comfort zone. The adhesive works great, so I am not worried about this unexpectedly falling off of my enclosure. My only concern it the dial they have chosen to use for the cord. I have received several reptile heat fixtures (both lamps and heat pads) lately that have started using these generic dials and they are all very cheaply made. So far I have had 2 that have had the cords overheat and the dials melted. These are not made of quality materials and definitely pose a fire hazard. I don’t know if this one is made with the same cheap materials as those other two were, but it feels the same and I don’t want to take any chances. So, I am definitely keeping this on a metal shelf right out front where I can keep a close eye on it at all times.

I have quite a few different reptile species and have used many different brands of heat mats. This product works as advertised. I always plug heat sources into a thermostat to prevent accidents. I have had no issues with this heat pad.

I'm impressed by the quality of this reptile heating mat. It feels more durable than other options I have used, and I like that the adhesive sticker is seperate, so you don't have to use it if you don't need to.The temperature is also adjustable, which is an option many heating pads in this temperature range lack. Do note that it's just a dial that effects how much it heats up, however. It does not have an in-built thermostat. The heat this device supplies is spread evenly throughout the entire mat.Overall, I'm pleased with the quality of this heat mat. It's affordable, but still of good quality for the price range, and I feel it will do a good job of heating my pets' enclosures.

So I put this heating pad undery extra tank for my 🐢 🐢 so when I'm cleaning their tank out n yes this is my fur baby🐈 Ash 😂 He actually loves the heating pad as does my Chloe 🐈 😂 n yup I bought them their own but a 🐈 heating pad you control.this is a win.,
