Exo Terra Ceramic Heater – 150 Watt

 

The Exo Terra Ceramic Heater is a type of radiant heat source designed for reptile terrariums. It’s particularly useful for providing a warm environment for reptiles that require specific temperature conditions, such as snakes, lizards, and other cold-blooded animals. The heater emits long-wave infrared heat, which closely simulates the natural heat of the sun and is beneficial for the well-being of reptiles.

 

Key features and benefits of the Exo Terra Ceramic Heater include:

Efficiency: The heater is designed to have a high heat efficiency of around 99%, meaning that almost all the energy consumed is converted into heat. This efficiency helps ensure that your reptile receives consistent and effective warmth.

Natural Heat Emission: The emitted heat closely resembles the natural warmth of the sun. This is important for reptiles’ thermoregulation, allowing them to bask and regulate their body temperature just as they would in the wild.

Uniform Heat Pattern: The heater creates a uniform heat pattern, ensuring that the entire terrarium receives an even distribution of warmth. This is crucial for creating a comfortable environment for your reptile and preventing temperature gradients that could be harmful.

Increased Ambient Air Temperature: In addition to directly warming the reptile, the ceramic heater also helps raise the overall air temperature within the terrarium. This ensures that the entire habitat maintains the required temperature range.

Infrared Penetration: The long-wave infrared heat emitted by the heater can penetrate the scales and skin tissue of reptiles. This deep penetration promotes blood vessel dilation and increased circulation, which can contribute to the reptile’s health and healing.

Compatible with Exo Terra Wire Light: The Ceramic Heater is designed to be used with the Exo Terra Wire Light, which provides a secure and appropriate fixture for the heater in the terrarium.

 

When using the Exo Terra Ceramic Heater, it’s important to closely monitor the temperatures in the terrarium to ensure they remain within the optimal range for your specific reptile species. It’s recommended to use a thermostat to regulate the heater and maintain a consistent temperature.

Remember that proper lighting, temperature gradients, and other aspects of habitat setup are crucial for the well-being of your reptile. Always follow the manufacturer’s instructions and consult reptile care resources to provide the best care for your pet.
