Provide your beloved reptile with vital supplemental warmth using the Reptile One Heated Rock 24W! This natural-looking heat source is designed to replicate the warm surfaces found in a reptile's natural habitat, providing essential belly heat crucial for proper digestion, metabolism, and overall well-being.
Crafted with a realistic rock appearance, this 24-watt heated rock blends seamlessly into your terrarium's landscape, offering a comfortable and inviting spot for your cold-blooded companion to bask and thermoregulate. It’s an easy-to-integrate solution for enhancing your reptile's environment and supporting their natural behaviors.
Essential Belly Heat: Provides crucial warmth from below, aiding in your reptile's digestion and metabolic processes, which is vital for their health.
Natural Rock Appearance: Designed to mimic the authentic look and feel of natural rock, enhancing the aesthetic of your terrarium.
Energy-Efficient 24W Output: Delivers a consistent and appropriate level of warmth for supplemental heating, ensuring efficient energy consumption.
Durable & Pet-Safe Material: Crafted from high-quality, non-toxic polyresin or similar inert material with an internal heating element, ensuring long-lasting safety and integrity in the terrarium.
Easy to Clean: The smooth, non-porous surface makes it simple to wipe clean, maintaining optimal hygiene in the enclosure.
Supports Natural Basking: Encourages natural basking behaviors, providing a comfortable spot for your reptile to absorb heat.
ALWAYS use with a Thermostat: It is absolutely CRITICAL to use the Reptile One Heated Rock in conjunction with a suitable thermostat. Heated rocks can reach unsafe temperatures if uncontrolled, leading to severe thermal burns to your pet. A thermostat will prevent overheating and maintain a safe surface temperature.
Supplemental Heat Only: This heated rock is designed to provide supplemental belly heat and should NOT be used as the sole heat source for your reptile. Most reptiles require overhead basking lamps that emit IR-A and IR-B to properly thermoregulate, as well as a distinct thermal gradient in their enclosure.
Monitor Temperatures: Regularly monitor the surface temperature of the heated rock with a digital thermometer and observe your reptile's behavior to ensure comfort and safety.
Prevent Prolonged Contact: Ensure your reptile is not constantly resting on the heated rock, as continuous contact can also lead to burns, even at seemingly safe temperatures. Provide alternative basking and hiding spots.
The Reptile One Heated Rock 24W is ideal for small to medium-sized reptiles (such as Leopard Geckos, many species of snakes, and some smaller lizards) that benefit from supplemental belly heat. It's an excellent choice for pet owners seeking to enhance their reptile's environment with an additional heat source for proper digestion and thermoregulation, provided it is used correctly with a thermostat.
