Exo Terra Heating Rock

Introduction

The Exo Terra Heating Rock provides reptiles with a safe, naturalistic heat source that replicates the warmth of sun-heated stones found in their natural environment. Designed to encourage natural basking and digestion behaviours, this heating rock uses an internal, electronically controlled heat element to deliver gentle, evenly distributed warmth. Its realistic rock texture blends seamlessly into any terrarium setup, enhancing both aesthetics and functionality. Built with safety in mind, the unit prevents dangerous temperature spikes, ensuring the well-being of your reptile. Ideal for species that benefit from belly heat, the Exo Terra Heating Rock is a reliable addition to desert or tropical enclosures.
