NOTES:

• The temperature is not controllable directly on this item.  We recommend purchasing the Zoo Med Repti-Temp Rheostat to control temperature setting.
• A rock heater’s function is to facilitate digestion. A rock heater should never be the sole source of heat. Use as a backup heat source (not primary) for tropical or desert type reptiles.
• Never cover or bury the rock heater with anything. If your reptile never leaves the rock heater then your terrarium is too cold and you need an additional heat source. Designed for use in glass terrariums only.

In nature the sun beats down on rocks and pavement (roads) which hold heat. Many species of reptiles will take advantage of this heat during the day or early evening to help “heat-up” their digestive tract and facilitate food digestion. The ReptiCare® Rock Heater replicates this “heated stone” feature found in nature and is very useful for reptiles that eat large meals (ie: mice and rats) like Pythons, Boas, Monitor Lizards, Tegus, etc.
