BN-LINK Durable Reptile Heating Pad 8" X 12" with Digital Thermostat Under Tank Heater Terrarium Warmer Combo Set for Turtles, Lizards, Frogs, and Other Reptiles

I accidentally placed the probe too close to the mat itself and it wasn’t heating properly. I moved the probe to about 3 inches from the mat and now it stays at the temperature I set it to. Im using this heat mat for my hermit crabs and it works perfectly. I have this one on the back of the tank my tank is a 20 gallon long for reference.

Used for 2+ years and kept my 36 gallon tank at 80°F during the -10°F winter. Easy to use and very accurate.

I thought I was buying a heating pad, basically what you're buying is a controller that comes with a free heating pad. I can't believe the price of this, I would expect at least $50. Especially considering that it is for pet use. It is a temperature controller, displays current temp inside tank, and has a separate permanently wired temp sensor that sticks to the inside of the tank with a suction cup. The suction cup works very well, even after repeated removals. The heating pad plugs in separately to a 110v plug on the controller. You can use any 110v device, I would only recommend using a heater or heat lamp though lol. I suppose you could wire it into a stereo, and when the temperature gets above your set point it starts playing Jimi Hendrix. The problem with that, is you then have to figure out whether or not your reptile is more of a country fan, or a rock fan.. The heating pad is completely covered with adhesive on one side for sticking to OUTSIDE of the tank. It's a lot larger than I expected, although I didn't look too see what size I was buying - I just expected smaller. The instructions say multiple times to place on the outside of the tank, so be aware of that. Also, it is absolutely not supposed to be placed on wood or anything other than glass, according to the instructions, so be aware of that. After reading the instructions, and being aware of that, I decided to just set it under the tank, on top of wood. It wasn't even real wood. It was crap particle board. Maybe the glue in the particle board increased its thermal properties, but I doubt it. I think it's more probable that the heating pad doesn't get hot enough to catch wood on fire. I didn't stick it to the tank because we are replacing the tank in a month. I then decided to move the tank and stick it to the side of the tank temporarily, so I removed a half inch or so (ended up being about an inch) of the adhesive backing all the way around the edge of the heating pad and stuck it to the glass so that I can remove it, and the rest of the adhesive is unused for the new tank. If this is not an absolute permanent fixture on your tank, I would advise sticking it to the tank using only a little bit of the adhesive (by removing small sections of at the adhesive backing to expose only small areas of adhesive). You will never get this off the tank in reusable condition if you use the entire adhesive sheet. I probably exposed too much adhesive. It's going to be a pain when I go to remove it.

Product works well. The pad was a pain to stick down, but the thermostat worked great. Couldn't get suction cup to stick to glass, so it just dangles. This is why didn't give 5 stars. Better design needed for that.

Been using this since day 1 on my reptiles enclosure. It helps keep the heat levels constant and appropriate on the warm side. Kind of hard to figure out how to set up at first. I say it’s a fair price, been using it for 6 months and it’s still working. The suction cup that comes with it ducks though, the thermometer kept falling. Numbers are nice and bright so you can see what it’s set at and keep track of it. Please ALWAYS use a thermometer with these heat mats to prevent injury to your pets and make sure to instal them correctly. It goes outside of the enclosure on the bottom and use plenty of substrate to keep lizards and/or snakes from getting burned from direct contact. Thanks for coming to my TED talk.

Wonderful unit paired together wouldnt recommend using a heat mat without having the thermostat so coming together makes it easy to get what you need to make the setup work.

Absolutly dangerous Junk do not bu after 4 months the thermostat failed and would nout come down from 130 degrees this will burn your animal or your house down.

Original review: “Hottest near the cord (closest to the thermostat temp), further from the cord is 10 degrees less. Adhesive is terrible, sticks in some places and not others. Irregular heating and poor adhesives, would not recommend for your reptile. Thermostat works just fine, the pad is terrible” Replacement Review: Adhesive on the back is good. Actual 3M adhesive. You have to lay out the mat under a phone book or something heavy before use because it’s folded in its packaging. Thermostat works great as it did before. Pad still has hot spots but not as variable as the first. With a heat gun there’s a difference of 10 degrees from the center to the outside of the pad. At least this time the hot spot is in the middle? Decent deal for a thermostat and heating pad. Good for a backup just in case.

Have it as belly heat for my ball python. Keeps her nice and toasty to properly digest at 90 degrees. Good large size. Easy stick design.

Lo ocupo para gecko leopardo. Simplemente ajustas la temperatura que necesitas en grados C o F. Y te olvidas de tener que estar monitreando la temperatura. Altamente recomendado

The heat pad seems to be working very well. My gecko is very happy and warm. I recommend it to anyone who needs a heat pad with temperature control for there critters.

A mi rana Brinquitos le encanta, lo único malo es que se comenzó a despegar del vidrio del habitad, fuera de eso, llevamos cerca de 6 meses encendida toooda la noche y no hemos tenido ningún problema

El producto es bueno muy bien fabricado y muy presiso el termómetro pero no caliente lo suficiente, falta calor
