Working heating.

Works well, no problems so far. Keeps the cool side of my lizard's enclosure at an acceptable temperature even on colder days. It was easy enough to glue. I deducted a star because I didn't receive the rubber spacers that were supposed to be included.

Pros
  • Delivery was very fast
Cons
  • Band

I've never had the chance to use them because

I've never had the chance to use them as they peeled off the clean dry glass I applied them to. I even tried turning the jar upside down and tucking them in (to heat the glue). As soon as I turned it over, they peeled off again.

Pros
  • dope ๐Ÿ”ฅ
Cons
  • the price of the piggy bank

Do not buy - heating pad failed and cracked my 2'x2'x4' tank.

I followed the recommendations and raised the tank. There were no problems on the first day. The temperature showed 95 degrees. The next day I hear a loud crack because the bottom of my tank cracked. When I heard the click the temperature was 135 degrees. Is it possible that this seller will not reimburse me for the damage caused to my tank?

Pros
  • quality assembly
Cons
  • I will write later

Bad adhesion. in reptiles and amphibians

Everything worked fine except it stuck to the pad, I couldn't get the paper backing off the pad until I plugged it in and warmed it up if I could to remove pad, some of the adhesive material was left with the paper, I needed it right away so I just used 200 mile tape and taped it to the bottom of the tank and so far it's been working fine.

Pros
  • Certified
Cons
  • Mostly good but...

I've secured it under my leopard gecko tank. I don't have a thermostat for the heater itself, but it doesn't raise the tank temp above 85 Fahrenheit. I have a felt pad and feel warm again but not hot. However, I keep plenty of climbing paraphernalia in the cage in case my little gecko gets uncomfortable during the day and he has a timer to keep him cool at night.

Pros
  • Satisfied so far
Cons
  • Could have opted for a newer model

Decent heater under tank

So far I really like this heater. It doesn't heat up the tank much, but gives my frogs a nice, warm spot in their tank. If they want to escape this heat, they can quickly climb into the water. The only thing I didn't like was that it couldn't be the main heat source. This will probably heat up the aquarium by about 5ยฐ. I needed a second halogen light to get the temperature up to the desired 70-75ยฐ. This would be great for the side of the tank if you don't mind the white patch. I like it inโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Very impressive
Cons
  • Protection

Fell out of our terrarium

This heating mat didn't convince me. First of all it states that it must be attached to the side of the terrarium and not to the bottom. It seems less efficient, but I think it's a liability issue. I wish they would just build a safe heater under the tank. Anyway, after I fixed it at the end, after a few hours the glue failed and I started falling off again. I ended up gluing it to the bottom but even then it was hanging down the middle so it wasn't making good contact with the terrarium. Iโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Consistent test results
Cons
  • Not bad
