Zoo Med Deluxe Rock Heaters for Terrariums and Aquariums

We are an authorized distributor for Zoo Med's heating and control products.

Deluxe Rock Heater w/Rheostat

Why Zoo Med's are the Best:

1. They  use a hydrated rock material that is twice as strong as cement or pumice.
2. Hydrated rock material conducts heat more evenly.
3. No hot spots!
4. Water resistant element!
5. Washable surface!
6. Quality!
7. CSA/TUV Approved!

That funny looking gizmo on the end is called a Rheostat. It allows you the ability to adjust the surface temperature of your rock heater... just the way your reptiles like it!

Most temperate reptiles like:

king snakes
rat snakes
gopher snakes
corn snakes
etc...

Use as a secondary heat source for some tropical reptiles like:

boas
pythons 
monitor lizards
tegus
turtles
tortoises
etc...

Helpful Hints

1. A rock heater has two basic functions: to facilitate digestion and to provide safety or additional heat when temperatures are unusually low. A rock heater should never be the sole source of heat unless the ambient air temperatures in your cage are sufficient for your type of reptile.
2. Placing a rock heater directly under or over another heating source is not a good idea! This can cause rock surface temperatures to escalate!
3. Always use a Rock Heater in wire type enclosures. (You know, like our IguanArium, hint, hint! )
4. Socks and nylons belong on your feet, not on your rock heater! Using these or similar items over your rock heater will encapsulate heat and can be a fire hazard!
5. Ball Python warning: Practice extreme care when using a rock heater with ball pythons! Be sure to provide several hide boxes and check ambient temperatures.
