Reptirad Reptile Radiator

The brand new ReptiRad Reptile Radiators are finally available: produced in Italy, studied, and designed by Retics & Reptiles UK which has selected Herp Italia as the exclusive distributor for Europe!

Radiant panels prove to be an excellent solution for all those animals that normally receive heat from above. They can also be installed in mammal or bird dens, and are very useful for heating the air in large terrariums where it is difficult to obtain acceptable temperatures, especially in winter.

The ReptiRad - Advanced Reptile Radiator is designed to be an ambient enclosure heater and will not produce intense heat spots. 

The ReptiRads are available in 4 sizes and 4 different wattages, to adapt to any need:

Pay attention, the temperature reached in the rooms will vary based on the construction material of the terrariums/nests, the starting temperature and where they are positioned! In summer and winter, starting from different base temperatures, they will reach a different maximum temperature. If you have to heat animals that need rather high temperatures, opt for the larger size even if your terrarium would fit into the smaller one, and equip yourself with an excellent thermostat.

INSTALLING YOUR REPTIRAD

The ReptiRad is to be installed overhead to deliver an optimum heat spot and ambient temperatures. 

Using the screws provided, fix to your desired area on the ceiling of the enclosure. We advise placing your ReptiRad at one end of the enclosure to ensure a natural gradient.

The ReptiRad must be used in conjunction with a thermostat to achieve optimal results and avoid overheating. The ReptiRad must not be mounted to the floor or bottom surface, this is an overhead heating source. Disconnect the in-line connection and feed the wire outside of the enclosure. Once the installation is complete connect the male and female connections and plug them into your thermostat.

Check the temperature before placing any animal into the enclosure. The ReptiRad is designed with a thickness of 18.5mm to minimize the risk of any animal wrapping or climbing onto the heating source. We recommend that you do not need a guard for the ReptiRad. If you do wish to use a guard, please see www.reticsandreptiles.co.uk/productsafety for product guidelines and measurements.

The inline connection on your ReptiRad wire must be placed outside of the enclosure.
When mounting, feed the connection wire from the ReptiRad outside of your enclosure and connect the plug wire once the ReptiRad is installed.
