Zoo Med guarantees the materials and workmanship of the Repti Therm UTH for a period of one year from date of purchase. If heater should fail during this time, simply mail heater and your purchase receipt back to Zoo Med for a replacement. Please include a note explaining failure. Zoo Med Laboratories, Inc., 3100 McMillan Road, San Luis Obispo, CA 93401. No other guarantees apply, whether expressed or implied.
120 vac, 60 hZ, 16 watts. Instructions Peel adhesive paper off back of heater and "stick" to the underside of your terrarium. Zoo Med recommends you place heater on either the right or left side of terrarium and gently rub heater to make firm contact with the bottom glass. This allows one side of your terrarium to be warmer than the other, thus giving your animals a natural temperature variance. Helpful Hints Use Zoo Med's high-range reptile thermometer to monitor the temperature of your terrarium. Should your terrarium be in a particularly cold area you may need to add an additional Repti Therm UTH heater or Zoo Med's Repticare Rock Heater. Caution Do not use the Repti Therm UTH Heater on plastic or wood terrariums. Provide adequate ventilation below pad to prevent overheating. Product includes eight-page illustrated Instruction Book with complete instructions, cautions, and frequently asked questions.

Questions
Can this be used on bottom of glass aquarium for hamster?
- Yes, I used this for my hairless Guinea pig.
Helpful?
Would this also be okay for a plastic tub for dubia roaches? and a cricket pen for crickets? (I plan to get feeder insects soon) if so, should I put the heating pads under them? or on the sides of them? (Plastic Tub and cricket pen)
Would this be okay to use for my arboreal and vertical 10-gallon tank for a juvi crested gecko? or would I need a smaller heat mat? A friend of mine suggested me to use one since she doesn't get the warmth she needs based on my setup.
- I would highly recommend using the small size. The different sizes specify what tank size they are for. Typically you'll use the heat mat on one side of the aquarium with a basking light. That gives your little buddy the option to be warm on one side and cool down on the other.
Helpful?
How large is it? Would it work for my bearded dragon's tank, it's 30"x12"x18*
- It will work, but I recommend the LARGE sized model, which is what I use on the same sized tank you described in your question. I'm not familiar with bearded dragons. I use these under tank heaters for my ball pythons. Read the instructions/applications on the packaging to make sure they are safe for your animal.
Helpful?
Will this work for a Baby Red-Eared Slidder?
- I would not recommend this for a water turtle. The tank needs to be set up properly with the correct water and land areas plus the correct lighting. I would suggest a submersible heater made especially for water turtles. Petco sells these and they work great. Choose the wattage based on the size of the tank that your turtle is in. If the turtle is in a very small container, then I would recommend a ceramic heater that fits in a lamp like a bulb would. Last option would be a heat lamp, but you would need one for day and a different one for night so that the turtle can have a day night cycle. You will also need to be very careful to use the correct wattage so that the enclosure does not get too hot.
Helpful?
Can I use it for a 10 gallon tank or should I get a smaller one?
- You should get a smaller heater. This one would cover the entire bottom and, as cold blooded animals, reptiles need to be able to move to a cooler location. I believe the recommendation for leopard geckos is to have one third of the tank heated for a proper temperature gradient.
Helpful?
Would a medium work for a 29 gallon tank?
- yes
Helpful?
Does this pad cover half of a 10 gallon tank? If not which size does?
- It depends on which size if ten gallon tall or ten gallon long this does not fit my Leo’s it a ten gallon long and is 34inches
Helpful?
Can this be taken off and on repeatedly if you needed or wanted to move it or needed to clean tank? Will it leave residue if removed?
- You can move it if you need to. You don’t have to replace it. All you need is hvac foil tape to keep it in place. The tape is specifically designed to be used in high heat situations.
Helpful?
Can you use papertowels over this? I use papertowels for my leopard gecko, just wondering if it would be effected differently by what types of bedding we use.
- Yes you can and you can use paper towels as substrate for leap order geckos. The eco carpet stuck my geckos finger when I wasn’t home and ripped it off.

Whay can i do about my hachling iguana over heating
I am about to get a crested gecko and have done lots of research, but am nervous I'll kill my crestie. You see, lots of people have different opinions about additional lighting. 1 breeder said a heat lamp killed many of his crested geckos, while another breeder said it killed her geckos when they DIDNT have a heat lamp. Should I get a heat lamp? (My tank is a 12 by 12 by 18, of that helps at all) Also, should that size tank be good for 1 crested gecko for his entire life?
I am not sure of my turtles age. I have had her for 3 yrs. Dosen't seem to be growing and I'm concerned about the underneath shell. Looks like it is splitting. She is in a 10 gal tank always by the window for sun. Is the tank to small? She eats well, super worms, tomatoes, grapes and strawberries some lettuce.
SO i am thinking about getting a leopard gecko, but i am not spending a ridiculous amount of money on a cage so i am using a plastic laundrey hamper that seems about maybe 10 gallons and i am setting up little hiddy spots and stuff but i dont know wha tbeedding i should use and how much light they need please hep :)
Would reptaid help for a baby sulucta tortoise which I think has runny nose syndrome?
Hi, my hatchling red foot tortoise has a problem with keeping his eyes open for very long, he hasn't been eating as much as usual and when he closes his eyes I have to soak him in water to get him to open them back up. When his eyes close it almost looks like they are crusty. I have a cypress mulch and jungle mix substrate in his cage which is about 4 inches at the highest and 1 inch in his basking are but it's kept well watered. Thank You!
I have a new Ball Python that eats allright, but it stays in it's hide all the time, day and night. I keep the temperature gradient consistant. The hide is the black square with a hole in one end. I feed him in a separate clear habitat. The substrate is aspen bedding wich, consists of perfectly square 3mm pieces that stick to every thing it comes in contact withincluding the snake wich is covered. I have to mist more than seven times a day to keep the humidity above 40%. One quart at a time.
I think my tortouse might be dead, its not moving and is stiff inside
Why isn't my turtle basking? He is just swimming in the water
My snake has lumps on his body. He had mites a month ago and I put him in quarantine and treated him twice with Jurassi Mite. Since then I haven't seen any mites. He also recently got a new CHE bulb over his tub. I'm wondering if they are infections from the mites or burns from the bulb. He's 5 years old and I adopted him 2 months ago. Please help.
Hi i was just woundering what is the best substrate for iguanas because alot of people say astro terf or vinyl because the lick most substrate abd can become impacted
I adopted a sick Leopard Gecko from a local pet store. The pet store doesn't take good care of Leopard Geckos. They have dried Mealworms, no calcium, no humidity, and their all crowed in one hide. My Leopard Gecko Geo wasn't eating Mealworms or Crickets. She is underweight and her tail is skinny. I started to get concerned so I started syringe feeding her daily with ReptaBoost. Today I saw her throw up some of the mix. It looks like she was struggling to regurgitate. Also the humidity is high.
