Terrarium Heat Rock - Heating Stone 19 x 13 x 3.5 cm

The health, vitality and well-being of reptiles are primarily ensured by species-appropriate temperature conditions, which is why optimal temperature management is by far the most important factor in the terrarium. Unlike mammals, which produce their own body heat, reptiles are cold-blooded animals and are therefore unable to do so. They rely on external heat sources to regulate their body temperature.

Only at a certain body temperature, known as the operating temperature, does the reptile's metabolism function at an optimal level. If they cannot reach this operating temperature, they are forced to switch to economy mode. As a result, many bodily functions lose some of their efficiency, including the metabolism and the immune system.

The Amazonas heating stone is an ideal heat source for reaching your reptiles' operating temperature, thus supporting their health and well-being. Thanks to the built-in thermostat, the heat is regulated and your reptiles are protected from overheating. With its natural appearance, this heating stone is particularly popular with terrarium inhabitants and is especially suitable for desert terrariums. The power cable is protected against being bitten through.
