Excellent. Date: April 21, 2006
"The most useful and reliable of the undertank heaters that I have bought. It never seems to die, and the reptiles haven't ever been burned while basking. Provides a nice, even area of heat for the guys, and doesn't make their habitat cockeyed. "

Great for some applications. Date: July 8, 2008
"These heat mats have adhesive and are easy to apply, which is a plus. However, there is no information about the temperature they reach, which is a potential problem. Also, they cannot be used if water will be added to the aquarium, because thermal shock may break the glass if cold water hits the glass when it is hot. Inadequate info for purchasing--you can only get this info by opening the product packaging."

Great product Date: May 20, 2008
"I wasn't sure how this would give heat but it sure does heat up the sand and the overall temp just fine. I put this on one side of my tank with a hide for my leopard gecko and it just loves sitting there and warming up its belly. It works especially well for me because my house tends to be cold and I want to make sure my gecko has a warm area to retreat to if it ever gets chilly."

Wonderful Purchase Date: April 25, 2008
"I have two of these heaters, and they are perfect. My leopard gecko and bearded dragon both love these heaters. They raise the inside cage temperature about 5-10 degrees. I would recommend this product to any reptile keeper."

Lizard Loves It! Date: March 25, 2008
"My iguana loves the pad heater...he loves to lay right on top of it (especially after eating!). The box says it raises the tank temp 5-10 degrees (for a 30-40 gal tank)...I have a 40 gal tank and it didn't raise the overall temp of the tank at all. That is the only real "discrepancy" I can find. I would recommend this product!"

"I got one of these when I first got my beardie. She loves it, since it brings up the heat in her tank so much. Sometimes she sleeps next to it, or leans on it. She gives it two claws up!!"

Wonderful Heat Source! Date: February 5, 2008
"I have these UTH on all my cages, snake and beardies alike! Thay are a bit pricey but most deffinalty worth it! The pad doesn't raise the power bill much and it also provides heat at night when I enjoy the house being a lil cooler than normal! The only complaint that I have is the 50-60 gallon one isn't really wide enough!"
