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

Works great for our tank that needs heating. We have it on the back wall because it works better than the bottom, love this product! Keeps the tank several degrees warmer than room temp.

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.

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.

Works super well! Has really helped up the ambient temperature in my Ball Python enclosure. One thing to keep in mind is that you NEEEEEEEEED to pair this with a thermostat!!!! If you do not do this, your reptile WILL get burned! This thing gets really really hot if it's not given a thermostat! Otherwise, it has been perfect and has done exactly what I needed it to! Overall a good budget option, especially if you just need a pad to put under the warm hide!

Works perfect! Keeps my hermit crabs at just the right temp.

Perfect!! So happy with this heat mat. It’s accurate, readable, the size is perfect, the lifespan is good, and the temperature control is perfect! Really good mat 😊

I read lots of mixed reviews on this before purchasing. It does not heat the entire tank, or air in the tank. It heats the glass and *small* area near wherever you put it. The thermometer in my tank has not changed since using this, it was 70 degrees before and is still 70 degrees. But, my hermit crabs have migrated over to the side of the tank where I placed it so I know they can feel the heat off of it in that area. Also, when I place my hand near that part of the tank I feel the heat myself. I will continue to use it for the time being until I find something better. It also tajes quite some time to heat up to the degree you set it to, I chose 85 degrees and it is rarely at 85 when I check it. It’s normally at 81-82. Also, I saw some complaints about the stickiness of the product. In my opinion the stickiness is great and hard to remove the product once it’s placed. It states in the instructions not to remove it after placing because it will lose stickiness. So I think that speaks for itself if you read instructions first.

My daughter has a ball python snake. She needs this to keep him alive. It does an excellent job at regulating temperature. And it's very easy to use. We would buy it again if this one wears out.
