Plug Heater In:






The ReptiTherm® is designed to slowly heat glass, and then the air inside of your terrarium. The heater will take a minimum of six hours before you get an accurate temperature reading in your terrarium. If your animal spends all of its time near the heater it means that there is not enough heat in the cage. Supplemental heat should be added immediately.












What's more suitable? Side or bottom?
