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 David Reyes

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Poor adhesion, poor performance, etc.

Perfect UTH size but disappointing it kept peeling off as soon as I turned it on. Also checked the temperature a few times with a laser thermometer and it has various hot spots all over the mat. I use a jump start thermostat that is also set at 94 degrees Fahrenheit and the hottest part of the mat is 104 degrees Fahrenheit and the coldest part is 86 degrees Fahrenheit. A little worried if you ask me. Update 11/14/19: I've been using this heat mat for about a month and the maximum temperature it can reach is 86F. My thermostat is set to 100F. I don't know if it's because the weather is colder and the heat mat isn't working as efficiently, or if the heat mat is just a piece of junk. I suspect the latter.

Pros
  • Features: Size: 8"x12"; 16W; Cord Length: 6ft, US 120V and standard plug, no adapter needed; Fits 30-40 gallons
Cons
  • Slightly wrinkled
