BEFORE YOU CHOOSE

What this equipment type can do

Use this product-class screen alongside your animal’s care guide and the checks below. Result: Heat control checks. Temperature-control or light/heat hardware for a terrestrial ectotherm only if its exact output and control method meet the species plan.

Checks for your animal

Verify mains voltage, load, control mode, compatible heat source, probe position, independent fixed readings, guarding and the complete daily gradient. Use any heat mat only with a compatible thermostat, never uncontrolled. A thermostat or wattage label alone is not a safety or suitability finding; aquarium control compatibility is not established for terrestrial units.

These checks do not approve the product for a particular species. Check your animal’s needs, the installation and the current retailer listing separately.
