How warm/hot does this rock achieve?
Answer by Chewy • 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 Chewy • 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.
If I'm using this as a secondary heat source for a ball python, should I place it in the already 'hot' side of the tank near the main heat source, or in the temperate middle of the tank?
Answer by Chewy • May 28, 2022
The Repticare Rock Heater is designed to facilitate digestion in reptiles but is not to be used as a primary heat source for any tropical or desert species of reptile. Don’t put your Rock Heater directly under or over another heat source. The additional heat from a primary heat source will cause the surface of the Rock Heater to overheat. This could result in burns to your reptile.
Would this work for my tomato frog?
Answer by Chewy • Jul 29, 2021
This heater is not suitable for tomato frogs. It is designed for reptiles in dry terrariums only.

So far so good

So far so good. I was nervous about the reviews but they are not too hot. My tortoises seem to like the heat. I do feel the heaters every day to make sure they don’t get too hot. My last set of rock heaters got really hot ( bought from another company)

WILL BURN REPTILE

I repeat DO NOT USE. these are extremely dangerous and can burn your reptile. Reptiles do not feel heat the same way that humans do. It gets way too hot and they cannot tell the difference. Place a piece of slate under your basking light instead.

Rock Heater

Our bearded dragon "Wilma" loves this heated rock. She will spend a few hours at a time warming herself. It seems to make her a bit more perky and active.

Not very good

This heat rock gets a little too hot in my eyes and wish it had come with a setting where u could adjust it lower. But it does make a good rock for my beardie to just lay on while basking under his real lights. So that's what I'm gonna use it for and just won't have it plugged in. Make sure you read the directions and put that definitely in their cold side if you are going to be plugging it in..bc I can see why they warn you about it bc with how hot it gets in their cold side..it could seriously burn your buddy.

This Heat rock

Didn't work!!! Do not recommend. I throughout the box and packaging without trying it. I don't know why I did this, but I did. Do not buy this. I don't blame the site, I blame the product. And didn't even try to contact to return or get a refund.

Should never be used. Ever.

Heat rocks can't be regulated, and are known for regularly lighting on fire. They cause burns to animals, and short circut regularly. Don't buy.
