Reptile tank heater are designed for the all kinds of reptile pets especially the cold-blooded reptile to help them meet their specific thermal needs by providing the external temperature to help them regulate their living environment.
Here are some notes that should pay attention when you used reptile tank heater:
1. The heating pad should be used in conjunction with the temperature control, even if the heating pad has a temperature control already.
The function of temperature control is that when the heating pad reaches the set temperature, it will automatically power off, which can effectively avoid the problem of continuous heating of the heating pad, prevent aging, and greatly prolong its life time.
2. The heating pad should be placed in half of the pet box.
From the perspective of breeding, there are differences in temperature in a breeding environment, which can make the pet choose freely and be more adaptable.
From a safety point of view, crawlers can still survive by climbing into cold areas in case the heating pad unfortunately starts to get old and warm.
3. Do not accumulate dust on the heating pad
Normal heating pads are exposed to the air, and the heat on their surfaces is constantly carried away by the airflow. However, if the heating pad is buried under the pad material or covered by other things, it cannot be well breathable, and the heat on the surface of the heating pad cannot be rapidly dissipated, leading to the heat surge and directly burning the heating pad.
4. Do not use the heating pad directly on the floor
Because the heat absorption of the ground is very strong, no matter how the heating pad is heated, it can not reach the set temperature, so the heating pad will work as if there is no temperature control, until the fire.
