Its compact size makes it perfect for nano terrariums, and it offers long-lasting durability, with a lifespan of up to 5 years, making it a reliable and energy-efficient heating option.

Can the Zoo Med Nano Ceramic Heat Emitter be used with a thermostat?

Yes, the Zoo Med Nano Ceramic Heat Emitter can and should be used with a thermostat to maintain the appropriate temperature inside the enclosure. This prevents overheating and helps regulate the environment, ensuring your pet stays within a safe and comfortable temperature range.

How does the infrared heat benefit reptiles and amphibians?

Infrared heat provides deep-penetrating warmth that helps reptiles and amphibians regulate their body temperature, supports digestion, and promotes healthy blood circulation. This type of heat closely mimics the natural sun, which is crucial for reptiles’ overall well-being.

What is the maximum wattage recommended for small terrariums?

For nano-sized terrariums, the Zoo Med Nano Ceramic Heat Emitter is available in 25-watt and 40-watt options. These lower wattages are ideal for smaller enclosures, ensuring safe and effective heating without risking overheating in confined spaces.

Can the Zoo Med Nano Ceramic Heat Emitter be used for 24/7 heating?

Yes, it is designed to be a 24-hour heat source, making it safe to use continuously throughout the day and night. Since it emits no light, it won’t disturb the reptile’s sleep cycle, providing consistent warmth around the clock.

Is it safe to use the heat emitter with plastic light fixtures?

No, you should avoid using the Zoo Med Nano Ceramic Heat Emitter with plastic fixtures, as they cannot handle the heat produced by the emitter. Always use a porcelain socket, which is heat-resistant and safe for prolonged use.

How far should the emitter be placed from the reptile?

The Zoo Med Nano Ceramic Heat Emitter should always be placed outside the enclosure or at a safe distance, depending on the wattage and size of the terrarium. Ensure the emitter is far enough away to prevent direct contact with your reptile and to avoid the risk of burns.

Can this product be used for both reptiles and amphibians?

Yes, the Zoo Med Nano Ceramic Heat Emitter is suitable for both reptiles and amphibians. It creates a warm, controlled environment that is perfect for animals such as geckos, snakes, turtles, frogs, and even invertebrates like tarantulas and scorpions.

How do I know if the Zoo Med Nano Ceramic Heat Emitter is working properly?

You can check if the Zoo Med Nano Ceramic Heat Emitter is functioning by monitoring the temperature of the terrarium. If it is producing heat but no light, it is working correctly. A thermostat can help track and regulate temperature, ensuring the enclosure is properly heated.

What’s the difference between ceramic heat emitters and traditional bulbs?

Unlike traditional bulbs that produce both heat and light, ceramic heat emitters only emit infrared heat, providing warmth without affecting your reptile's natural sleep cycle. They are also more durable, lasting up to 5 years, and are more energy-efficient for continuous use.
