    Anyone Else Have Any Issues With The Zoo-Med Heating Pads?

    I had two die on me earlier this week, and I have had issues with them in the past. Does anyone have any recommendations for another source of undertank heating?

    UltraTherm heat pads from Reptile Basics.

    i started with those adhesive UTHs, and i never really liked how you couldn't move them once placed. UltraTherm heat pads are just mats that you adhere with aluminum tape; you can move and remove them as you please. they also don't get very hot, which is a plus.

    can't recommend them enough.

    Seconding Ultratherm! Fantastic heat pads! Even their smallest model works extremely well for my pvc cage!
