Zoo Med ReptiTherm Habitat Heater 40 Watts for Large Reptiles

Heavy-Duty Habitat Heating for Large Reptiles and Zoo-Style Enclosures

Zoo Med's ReptiTherm Habitat Heater is a 40-watt heating solution specifically designed for use with large, heavy reptiles and spacious zoo-style enclosures. Where standard under tank heaters are sized for typical terrariums, the ReptiTherm Habitat Heater is built to meet the demands of tortoises, monitors, tegus, iguanas, and other large lizard species that require substantial, consistent warmth across a much larger habitat footprint.

At 40 watts, the Habitat Heater delivers the higher output needed to effectively heat the floor area of large enclosures, providing the bottom warmth that large reptiles depend on for thermoregulation, digestion, and overall health. It is the go-to heating solution for keepers who have outgrown standard UTH options and need a heater that scales to the demands of their animals and enclosures.

Whether you are managing a large tortoise habitat, a monitor lizard enclosure, or a zoo-style setup for tegus or iguanas, the ReptiTherm Habitat Heater provides the reliable, high-output warmth these species require.
