Product Information

You will need to get a thermostat and plug your heating pad to it. On a thermostat, choose maximum basking temperature (up to 92-94 F), and minimum – 87-88 F for your heating pad. A thermostat will make sure that your heating pad works within this temperature range. The benefit of a deep heat projector is its ability to provide targeted and penetrating heat therapy, which can help relieve muscle pain, improve blood circulation, and promote relaxation and healing in specific areas of the body. How long does a deep heat projector last? Of course, you could also go for an analog or dial thermometer if that’s more your style. They aren’t as bad as others claim. Plus, they don’t require batteries or any other power source to work.

There are three methods of probe placement. You can either place the probe at the warm end, the cool end, or the middle. Each one works slightly differently, but the end result should be the same. Choose the right vicinity for the projector or Topcon Laser Scanner. The projector must be positioned in an area wherein the animal can bask in the heat without being burned. The projector needs to be placed away from flammable substances. I agree with @JoesMum on that. If it is a hatchling I'd go closed chamber and control humidity and add a CHE to keep night temps up much more. Controlled heating, ThermalZooPro has 2 independently switched and plugged heat sources. This means that you can isolate each heat lamp fitting easily and of course run each one through dimming thermostatic control separately. When choosing a heating pad, make sure to note the size like this. The pad should only cover 25-33% of the tank’s size. This is important, so that you can have a warm basking and a cool spot.

Radiant heat panels are also used for heating ball python enclosures. They are screwed on top of the enclosure ceiling and emit heat. Radiant heat panels are mostly used inside PVC and wooden enclosures. Most solid objects will give off a yellow, orange, or red glow when it reaches a temperature of 789 Kelvin (equivalent to 977°F or 525 °C) [1]. In comparison, the carbon fiber filament of a deep heat projector can reach an extremely high operating temperature of 1832°F (1000°C). But the good thing about this equipment is that you only really need one regardless of how many reptiles you have in your family. It doesn’t matter if they have different temperature requirements either. Make sure that you keep an eye on the temperatures lower down in the enclosure with a good quality digital thermometer. If the vivarium is very tall, you may need to add supplemental heating to ensure that the temperature on the ground does not go too low. Installing your thermostat probe – a step-by-step guide. A deep heat projector is a device that emits infrared radiation to generate deep heat within tissues and muscles. It is commonly used for pain relief and therapeutic purposes, such as reducing muscle tension and promoting relaxation. What is the benefit of a deep heat projector?

Moreover, replace the bulb every 6-twelve months, depending on the manufacturer’s instructions. This will make sure that the projector is imparting the best amount of warmth. FAQs What is a deep heat projector? The Arcadia Reptile Deep Heat Projector® is an innovative new form of heating tech designed to provide energy from light to captive reptiles that has a higher level or % of bioavailability than other heat sources that emit no visible light.Your ball python must be given enough light to know when it’s day and night. If your room is well-lit, it might be enough to light your ball python’s cage. Infrared A and infrared B provide heat deep within the muscle tissues, warming the animal throughout just as it would in the wild. This is the warm tingly feeling that you experience when you walk out into natural sunlight. Place the projector at least 12 inches away from the animal. This will assist in saving the animal from getting burned. Before we go into where you should put the probe, let’s take a little look at why we are doing it. Your thermostat is the piece of equipment that controls temperature. This is the item that you program with the temperatures that you want to achieve, day and night. Whichever type of heating you are using – deep heat projector, ceramic heater, halogen bulb or even heat mat– will be plugged into the thermostat. Position the probe in the area that you want to control the temperature from – warm end, middle, or cool end

Both ambient and surface temperature need to be closely monitored so you need both types of thermometers. Neither can be used to replace the other. Please remember, that a heat pad must only go under the tank itself, and never inside! Otherwise, it will burn your ball python. A great tip is to slightly lift your tank from a table/surface, to prevent heat buildup under it. They are then available directly into an animal’s dermis where they will deliver energy naturally, we term this as being ‘bio-available’. Full-spectrum terrestrial daylight interacts with everything that it encounters and in ectothermic species such as reptiles it is within these wavelengths that they obtain the energy that they need to ‘function’.

The type of fixture that it is in will not make too much difference as long as it is rated for the correct wattage and it has a reflector. I know that you need to let this "burn in" but how long before you see any real effect? (it's only been running just over a day and stupidly i programmed the stat for a nighttime drop instead of just letting it run). But the stat is struggling to get above 25 Celsius. (temp gun on the top of the hide though is hitting about 31. Inside the hide about 24). Heating pad + low wattage ceramic bulb (if room is cool, but well-lit and doesn’t require extra light)
