Review on 🦎 iPower Reptile Heat Pad: Versatile Terrarium Warmer with Digital Thermostat - Ideal for Turtles, Lizards, Frogs, and More! by Darlene Blair

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Will not work for 20 gallon terrarium

Thermostat works great. Reads the temperature accurately. This is where the good ends for us. This unit was used in a 20 gallon ribbon snake terrarium with wood bedding. The terrarium had about two to three inches of wood padding, and the best we could get with padding under the terrarium was about four or five degrees above ambient. We covered the top of the tank to hold more heat, I thinned the bedding over the heater area so there wasn't as much insulation over the pillow and it didn't help. As a result, I bought an incandescent lamp, which works much better in our case.

Pros
  • High marks for support and durability from testers
Cons
  • Hard to tell
