A 40W radiant panel designed to go inside a large enclosure, aimed squarely at tortoises and other heavy reptiles that will walk on, sit against and generally abuse anything you put in with them. It has an automatic thermostat that shuts the panel off at 48°C, so unlike a heat mat or a heat rock it has a built-in ceiling. It cannot be buried under substrate.
Features
- Built-in thermostat — cuts out at 48°C to prevent overheating.
- 40W radiant panel — no light output.
- Moisture-proof high-density polyethylene — water resistant and easy to wipe down.
- Metal-protected power cord — built to survive a tortoise.
- Moulded mounting rails — sits on the floor or fixes to a side wall.
- LED indicator shows when it is drawing power.
Using it
Fit it inside the habitat on the floor or a wall, with the animal able to move away from it. Do not cover it with substrate. As with any heat source, verify the actual surface temperature with a thermometer rather than relying on the cut-out alone.
