ReptiZoo Mini Ceramic Heater - Black

The ReptiZoo Mini Ceramic Heater is a compact, light-free heat source designed for reptile and amphibian enclosures. Emitting long-wave infrared energy without producing any visible light, it can run through the night without disturbing natural day/night cycles, or supplement daytime heating where extra warmth is needed. Available in two wattage options to suit different enclosure sizes and heating requirements.

Light-Free Heating

Unlike bulb-based heaters, ceramic heat emitters produce no light whatsoever — only radiant heat. This makes them well suited to nocturnal species or any setup where maintaining a dark period at night matters. There is no risk of disrupting basking behaviour or sleep cycles through unwanted illumination.

Long-Wave Infrared Output

The ceramic element generates long-wave infrared energy, which warms surfaces and animals directly rather than simply heating the air. This mirrors the way natural solar heat is absorbed and is particularly effective at maintaining thermal gradients within a vivarium or terrarium.

Compact Format

The mini form factor makes these heaters a practical choice where space above the enclosure is limited or where a lower-output option better suits the scale of the setup. Both wattage variants share the same black ceramic construction, which blends unobtrusively into most enclosure canopies and hoods.

Compatible Use

Ceramic heaters should always be used with a compatible thermostat to maintain accurate temperatures and protect the equipment. They are suitable for use with reptiles, amphibians, and other exotic pets where a stable thermal environment is required around the clock.

Choose between the available wattage options based on your enclosure size and existing heat sources — the product page lists both variants so you can select whichever suits your setup.
