HabiStat Reptile Radiator – For Larger Enclosures –  75 watt

The Habistat Reptile Radiator 75w has been specifically designed as an animal heater and to direct most of its heat out through the lower, radiating face.

Reptile radiators are especially suited for raising the ambient temperature in large enclosures.  They do not provide a basking spot, and so they are usually used in conjunction with another heat source.

The Reptile Radiator radiates a form of heat, ultra-long wave infrared, which mimics the sun making it ideal for heating a reptile enclosure. 

Made from a carbon element, the Reptile radiator is incredibly reliable and creates 75 watts of heat spread over 650 cm3.

Installation:

Position the HabiStat Reptile Radiator on the underside of the enclosure roof where it can radiate heat into the body of the cage as a hot spot or as general background heat. The Reptile Radiator must not be floor mounted, either in or outside the enclosure.

Attach the HabiStat Reptile Radiator using screws through the fixing holes. If there is a wire mesh panel in the roof, position the HabiStat Reptile Radiator on this to direct its heat into the enclosure.

Place the HabiStat Reptile Radiator (1) at the one end of the vivarium to ensure a hot and cold end for the reptile to move in and out of.

Connect the HabiStat Reptile Radiator (1) to the mains (3) via a thermostat and allow it to heat up and run at full power for 24 hours before putting animals into the cage. We recommend using a pulse proportional thermostat (7) for accurate temperature control and for protection against overheating.

During the first few hours of use there may be a slight smell from the heater. This is quite normal, and these harmless fumes should be allowed to vent away. Check the temperatures inside the cage before putting any animals in.

Protective insulation minimises the heating of the upper, mounting site.

Will not harm animals, people or fittings if mounted properly.
