ReptiCare® Ceramic Heat Emitters are the perfect 24 hour heat source for all reptiles. These porcelain heating devices screw into a standard porcelain incandescent socket, giving off intense muscle-penetrating" infrared heat while emitting no light. The flat-faced design is more efficient and longer lasting than conical designs which build up excess heat internally ultimately carbonizing the element."

My cockatiels space heater had died after 4 years of use. I liked the space heater as it was capable of low power use and would run it for 8-10 hours at a time due to the fact the bird is in a large room and winter night temperatures especially with snow are very cold. After the heater died I bought another thinking it would be the same. I was dead wrong as the electric bill jumped over 150$ in one month due to the power consumption of the new heater. I even timed my electric meter with the new space heater on and off. It sent the usage disk spinning.
With winter quickly coming up I looked into other methods of heating such as a heat blanket someone recommended. However all the heat blankets at the local store had a two hour shut off time due to safety issues. I looked into more economical space heaters on line such as ones that use oil but they cost 100$ or more for good ones that will last for years.
After extensive research I came across the Zoo Med Repticare Bulbs. I opted for the 60 Watt bulb since I didn't know how hot it would be. I also picked up the Zoo Med Deluxe 8.5in Porcelain Black Clamp Lamp for Reptiles. The 60 Watt bulb gives off light steady heat to about 1 foot away tops. Since my bird is an open cage bird and spends her day both inside, outside and on top of her cage, I keep the bulb about 8in away from the cage. If your bird is strictly an inside cage bird then you could probably put the bulb 2-3in away just outside the cage.
At night I wrap most of the cage except for the side quarter of it where the heat bulb is. I also aim the bulb slightly down so the heat will get her feet and rise over her body as well.Read more ›

Gives off all the heat with no emitted light. Works great to keep chicks warm without disrupting sleep patterns. Does get hot - needs to be on the outside of the cage. Works fine in a standard "clamp-on' reflector.
This spring, we provided foster care for two orphaned kittens. Worked great - just suspended it over their box by the lamp holder cord.

GENERAL COMMENTS Does the job. Radiant heat without light. My Senegal parrot loves it. Georgie's day-cage is on an outside patio in south Florida. I use the heat emitter perhaps 30 days/year when the temperature is between 50 and 65 degrees, and cover the top of the cage with a large beach towel (because cold = windy in south Florida). At night and below 50 degrees during the day, Georgie stays inside.
PLACEMENT Remember that this is radiant heat---it bounces like light. I place the emitter about 3" outside the cage, about 6" below the top---that way, with the top of the cage covered, some radiant heat will bounce down from the cover to warm Georgie's top side. His perch is perpendicular to the emitter, about 2" below the emitter, so that Georgie can choose how much warmth he wants by distance from the emitter. A "nesting box" is immediately below the perch---that way heat can bounce upward from the top of the box to warm Georgie's underside, and the box itself absorbs some warmth, in case Georgie needs to retreat from a hawk, cat, or other perceived threat, or just to nap. I am considering adding a second 60-watt emitter solely to warm Georgie's nesting box, which would provide a toasty retreat even if the temperature drops unexpectedly. Note that an ordinary cardboard box with a entrance hole can serve as a "nesting box".
60, 100, OR 150 Watts The 60 watt is it is adequate for closed vessels, such as 10 gallon aquariums, for which it is recommended. However, even for relatively small uncovered cages, it may not be sufficient. My guestimate based on use is that it would be adequate for a single small animal able to get within a few inches of the emitter in an open cage down to 50 degrees, perhaps 40 degrees with the cage covered (i.e.Read more ›

I needed an alternative to a heating pad for my Leopard Gecko's 20L Enclosure... This was it! I use it with Slate Tile, so the heat spreads evenly, and it's at a constant 92 Degrees. It doesn't give off any light either, so it stays on 24/7!
I'd recommend this for any Leopard Gecko owner.
It even lasts for up to 5 years!
Be sure to use a Clamp Lamp with a Ceramic Socket, so it won't melt.
Amazing Purchase!

I got this heat emitter for brooding baby chicks. It really performs well and I love the price. The pet shops near me charged twice as much for the exact same product. I was able to get two off Amazon for the price of one in my local pet store. For anyone who broods chicks, it is a great investment and a terrific way to heat them without a light bulb, so the babies can really rest and get the sleep they need to stay healthy. If anyone gets day old chicks shipped from a hatchery, this is a must have in your brooder set up. I've brooded thousands of chicks over the years with light bulbs and this by far was the best investment I've made to help keep the babies happy and healthy.
