The Zoo Med ReptiCare® Rock Heaters provide reptiles with a naturalistic and reliable basking surface that supports healthy digestion. Constructed from a hydrated rock material, these heaters are twice as strong as cement or pumice, ensuring excellent heat conductivity and long-lasting durability. Each heater is built with a fully encapsulated nichrome heating element that distributes heat evenly across the entire surface, preventing dangerous hot spots. The Deluxe ReptiCare® Rock Heater includes a rheostat control for adjustable surface temperatures, offering even greater flexibility.

⚠️ Important Notes
Rock heaters are supplemental heaters only and should not be the sole heat source.
Never cover or bury the heater.
If your reptile never leaves the rock, the terrarium is too cold—an additional heat source (e.g., Ceramic Heat Emitter or ReptiTherm® UTH Heater) is needed.
