Exo Terra Ceramic Heater – 250 Watt

 

The Exo Terra Ceramic Heater is a type of reptile heating device designed to provide radiant heat to reptiles kept in terrariums. Here are some key features and details about the product:

 

Radiant Heat Source: The Ceramic Heater emits long-wave infrared heat, which closely resembles natural sunlight. This type of heat is effective for warming reptiles as it mimics the warmth of the sun.

Efficient Heat Distribution: The heater is designed to provide a uniform heat pattern, ensuring that the entire terrarium receives warmth. This can be important for creating temperature gradients within the enclosure, allowing reptiles to choose the areas with the temperature that suits them best.

High Efficiency: The heater boasts a 99% heat efficiency, meaning that most of the energy it consumes is converted into heat. This efficiency can be beneficial for maintaining a stable and appropriate temperature in the terrarium.

Reptile Health: The infrared heat emitted by the Ceramic Heater can have positive effects on reptile health. It can penetrate the scales and skin tissue of reptiles, promoting blood vessel dilation and increased blood circulation. This can contribute to the overall well-being of reptiles and aid in the healing process.

Terrarium Ambient Temperature: In addition to directly warming reptiles, the Ceramic Heater also helps to increase the overall ambient air temperature within the terrarium. This is important for creating a comfortable and suitable environment for reptiles that require specific temperature ranges.

Compatibility: The Ceramic Heater is designed to be used in conjunction with the Exo Terra Wire Light, which is a fixture that holds the heating element securely in place over the terrarium. Using the heater with the recommended fixture ensures safety and proper functionality.

 

It’s important to note that when using any type of heating equipment for reptiles, careful monitoring of the temperature is essential. Different reptile species have varying temperature requirements, so it’s crucial to research the specific needs of the reptile you are keeping and adjust the equipment accordingly.

Always follow the manufacturer’s instructions and guidelines for installation and usage to ensure the safety and well-being of your reptile. If you’re uncertain about how to set up or use the Ceramic Heater, it’s a good idea to consult with experienced reptile keepers or veterinarians who can provide guidance based on your specific situation.
