Exo Terra Turtle Heater 50W

The Exo Terra Turtle Heater 50W is a submersible, preset heater that automatically holds aquatic terrarium water at around 25°C (78°F). It is made for aquatic turtles and other water-dwelling reptiles and amphibians, so there is no dial to set. A tough high-impact plastic casing shields the heating element, and a stainless steel guard over the power cord stops turtles biting or damaging it. The slim, compact body comes with a bracket and two oversized suction cups, so it fits neatly into most aquatic habitats.

Key features of the Exo Terra Turtle Heater 50W

• Preset to about 25°C
• Fully submersible design
• High-impact plastic casing
• Stainless steel cord protector
• Twin suction cup bracket

Is it right for your setup

The heater is preset to hold the water at around 25°C, so it suits turtles and aquatic amphibians that do well at that temperature; species needing warmer or cooler water call for an adjustable heater. It is intended for aquatic setups of up to about 75 litres, and a bigger tank or a cold room may need more heating power. Mount it low on the glass with the suction-cup bracket and check the water with a separate thermometer.

Good to know

Unplug the heater before lifting it out of the water or doing a water change, and let it cool for a few minutes before handling.
