Review on πŸ”₯ Exo Terra Heatwave Rock: The Ultimate UL Listed Heating Solution by Mandy Tyrrell

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Best stone on the market

I recommend this product if you frequently check its temperature and know the temperature controller can fail and you do not place it directly under a heat lamp. This product lasted 3 years before the temperature control failed and the stone switched to permanent full heating. It might have lasted longer if I hadn't had it on 24/7. I will buy it again and put it on a timer so it turns off at night (it stays 70 in the tank when everything is off). I have been breeding bearded dragons for 11 years. This product is designed to be turned on and off and my bearded ones have never had any burns. I can say that I have seen the best digestive cycle with exo terra heat wave stone (large). People will tell you that's bad because they can't feel heat from below, but I also check the stone several times a day to make sure the regulator is working. I think it's more important to think about using sand as a substrate. If they eat it, their stomach will shrink and become deadly. I use ceramic tiles with newspaper underneath. Easy to take out and clean, keeps you warm and helps keep nails healthy (I've never had to trim since I switched to tile). My beard also pinches and scratches on the tiles, letting me know it's time to sleep 😁

Pros
  • Quality construction
Cons
  • Requires an outlet
