Review on ๐Ÿ”ฅ Impressive 8x12 Inch iPower Reptile Heat Pad: Ideal Under Tank Terrarium Warmer for Turtle, Lizard, Frog, Snake, Reptile, and Other Small Animals - 16W Heating Mat! by Issac Smart

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Great UT! (but always use with a thermostat regardless of brand)

I finally had to replace a very old UTH. I chose another well known brand and the glue didn't stick at all which made it pretty much useless as the cage (aquarium) I needed it on sits on top of the double stand and is open at the bottom. I was drawn to them because they are waterproof, heavily built (rather than just a flimsy piece of plastic heating element like the UTH of some popular reptile brands) and 3M heat resistant glue was used to attach them. This heating pad produces heat, but no matter what brand I use, I learned a long time ago that a thermostatic controller has to be used with them! And check the temperature from time to time, because eventually the thermostat controls die too, and when they die they may just sear your animal instead of stopping the heating. I bought a few smaller UTHs from iPower before using them as wall heaters as some of my cages are very large so not as easy to heat. These are great WTH! As good as the very best reptile brands, if not better! And cheaper! I've just upgraded my Python cages and pretty much all the UTHs I've had to replace and when I needed to add new ones to increase the heat at the hot end I used this brand. Great, and if I need more UTH in the future I'll get them. (22 years reptile keeping)

Pros
  • Excellent protection performance: waterproof and moisture-proof design, more versatile use environment; Waterproof design for safe cleaning, but please don't put the heating pad in water
Cons
  • Damaged
