Exo Terra Ceramic Heat Emitter Nano

The Exo Terra Ceramic Heat Emitter Nano is a radiant heat source designed specifically for smaller vivariums and nano terrariums. Emitting long-wave infrared heat with no visible light output, it works around the clock without interfering with your animal's natural behaviour — making it a reliable choice for reptile keepers who need consistent background heat in compact setups.

How It Heats

Rather than warming the air directly, this ceramic emitter produces infrared heat waves that penetrate deeply into tissue — supporting circulation and aiding the biological processes that reptiles depend on for digestion, activity, and overall health. The solid ceramic element converts electricity to heat with no wasted energy through light output.

24-Hour Heat Without Disruption

Because the emitter produces no visible light, it can run continuously day and night without affecting your animal's day/night cycle or activity patterns. It raises ambient air temperature across the enclosure and can also be directed at a specific area to establish a basking zone and create a meaningful temperature gradient.

Sized for Nano and Mini Setups

This emitter is built to work with smaller terrariums — including Exo Terra's own NANO and MINI Natural Terrariums — and is dimensioned to fit the Exo Terra Reptile Dome NANO fixture. Available in two wattages to suit different enclosure sizes and target temperatures, so you can match output to your specific setup without overpowering a small space.

Key Features

• Emits radiant infrared heat — no visible light produced
• Solid ceramic element with 100% heat efficiency
• Safe for continuous 24-hour use
• Raises overall ambient air temperature in the terrarium
• Can be directed to create a focused basking site and temperature gradient
• Designed for use with Exo Terra NANO and MINI terrariums
• Compatible with the Exo Terra Reptile Dome NANO fixture
• Available in two wattages to suit different enclosure sizes

Always run this emitter through a compatible thermostat — an on/off or pulse proportional unit is recommended — to maintain accurate temperatures and protect both the emitter and your animals. Choosing the right wattage for your enclosure size will give you the most consistent and controllable heat environment.
