How warm/hot does this rock achieve?
Answer by • Nov 23, 2017
After you plug the Repticare Rock Heater in, it will take several hours to heat up and should feel warm to touch (rock surface temperature between 90-100 F, 32-43 C). Generally, the surface of the Repticare Rock Heater will get between 10-20 F above the ambient terrarium temperature. If you are keeping your terrarium warm (95-105 F) then please unplug your Repticare Rock heater at these temperatures.
Is this safe to use in a plastic terrarium?
Answer by • May 15, 2021
This heater is safe to be used in a plastic container as long as the container has substrate on the bottom that the rock heater is set on and it is not coming in contact with any of the plastic.
Why is this not recommended for turtles? Not even non-aquatic turtles?
Answer by • Apr 30, 2021
This heater is only for use in dry terrariums and indoor use only. It is not recommended for aquatic turtle tanks or very humid terrariums as it should not be submerged or near water.
How long should a rock heater be used before it’s not sanitary?
Answer by • Jan 05, 2022
Time between cleanings may vary depending on usage. To clean, first unplug the Repticare Rock Heater® and allow to cool down, (minimum of 20 minutes). Remove from the terrarium and spray heater with Zoo Med’s Wipe Out 1™. Allow Heater to sit for 5 minutes, then gently wipe down all surfaces of the heater with a slightly damp cloth. Allow to dry then return to terrarium and plug back into the power source. Note: If Wipe Out 1™ is not available you can use a 5% bleach solution in water.
