Exo Terra Ceramic Heat Emitter

The Exo Terra Ceramic Heat Emitter is a radiant, light-free heat source designed for reptile and amphibian terrariums. Available in a range of wattages to suit enclosures of different sizes, it provides consistent infrared warmth around the clock without interfering with natural day/night cycles.

Infrared Heat That Works Like the Sun

This emitter produces long-wave infrared heat that penetrates scales and skin tissue directly, promoting circulation, supporting digestion, and encouraging natural activity. Unlike a basking bulb, it raises both surface and ambient air temperature throughout the terrarium, making it effective as a primary or supplementary heat source.

No Light, No Disruption

Because the ceramic element produces zero visible light, it can run continuously through the day and night without disrupting your animal's behavioural patterns or sleep cycles. This makes it particularly well suited to nocturnal species, or any setup where a permanent heat source is needed without the drawbacks of a visible lamp.

Solid Ceramic Construction

The emitter uses a solid ceramic element that converts electrical energy into infrared heat with high efficiency. There are no filaments to break and no glass to crack from water splashes, making it a durable long-term heating option for humid or bioactive setups.

Choosing the Right Output for Your Setup

The Exo Terra Ceramic Heat Emitter is available in multiple wattages — select the appropriate output for your enclosure size and the temperature gradient you need to achieve. A thermostat is strongly recommended to maintain stable temperatures and protect your animals from overheating.
