A TURTLE FAVORITE
Recently, my heater for my turtle gave it's last heat so I had to purchase a new one. I was very pleased that I found it on Amazon as I searched high and low at various retail stores in my area and they no longer sell this particular heater. We love this heater. It has two suction cups to keep in secure and unlike other suction cups, they stay flexible. With proper maintenance this heater lasts quite some time. We have had our turtle for 10 years and this is second heater we have had to purchase. We only use it during the winter months and when the first one quit working it wasn't quite time for us to remove it, so the turtle was very sad. She was so happy when this came in. She must have rested on it for several hours after we installed it. Overall, this is a well made and efficient heater for use in our tank and we are very pleased with it (especially the turtle). All of my product reviews are based on my own or my families’ personal experiences and are honest and fair. I appreciate you taking the time to read my review and please select the appropriate button if you found this review helpful or not and leave any comments which may help me write a better review for consumers such as yourself.

Does not work. UPDATE It was just a lemon
This product does not work. I installed it according to instructions and waited the correct amount of time before turning it on and it just doesn't work at all. I have this for a hatchling YBS 10 gallon tank. Cannot figure out how to contact the seller either. UPDATE: Turns out I was looking for a contact for Tetra when Amazon was the seller. My bad! Any way I initiated a return and they sent me a replacement that works perfectly. It arrived in 2 days and I can drop off the defective one within about 3 weeks at a UPS without even printing a label so I don't even have to deal with refunds for postage or anything. It took about 5 seconds to handle once I realized I was being an idiot. Works great, automatically set to 78 F which is perfect for my baby slider and I have a temp gun to check. So far as soon as the red indicator light comes on I check it and it is right on 77F, and then the indicator light turns off when the temp hits 79 so that is a nice tight little range. I love it. So does my baby. He's so small that he wedges himself between the cord and the side of the tank and passes out like a toddler. In case anyone was concerned, the red indicator light can be easily seen in daytime light but is not a nuisance in the dark. The cord is a nice length and very sturdy and the suction cups are large and powerful. The nice plastic casing around the heater will keep my hatchling from chomping on it when he gets bigger. You literally just tick it in the tank, fill her up, wait 15 min, plug in and you are done. 10/10 recommend, I just happened to get a lemon the first time.

Works well..but misleading
Recently purchased this heater for my daughter's 40 gl. turtle tank (only half filled) containing her two red ear sliders. I liked the look of this unit with its protective casing and the ability to reroute the power cord and the fact it is preset so no worrying about a thermostat. This is the misleading part though. Another review of this product stated it is preset to 73 degrees, however the back of the box even says its preset to 78 degrees. Given its a 100 watt heater and I have maybe 20 gl. of water in the tank I thought it would have no trouble maintaining 78. However I believe the other reviewer is right because this heater keeps my water at a steady 73-73.5. (without heat the water was at 63) Given some others have said similar things I have my doubts its supposed to get to 78, because at 100 watts it should have no problems in small tanks if the thermostat is set right. That part aside, I am glad I made the purchase. It has been operating for over 3 weeks and no problems. The turltes love it and are very active, and the plastic shield is great for protecting them. I mounted it on the bottom below the water return from my Zoo Med 501 Turtle Canister Filter (another good product i'm glad i got!) so it has decent flow around it, and the suction cups keep it firmly in place. I docked the one star for the uncertainty about if its working right or if it is indeed running 5 degrees cooler than it should, but if it maintains steady temperature like it has been then i'll keep being happy, and so will the pets!

Useless - PLEASE don't waste your money on this or ANY presets!
I learned this the hard way. My 54 year old slider became ill and all the vet websites said how crucial it is to maintain a steady warm water temp while trying to help him recover. Naturally, my latest glass heater had recently broken, and since I'd gone through more glass tube heaters than I could count throughout the years, I thought I'd go a different route this time and ordered this encased type. I was also tempted to buy this one because after all, it had the Tetra Repto name, a company division supposedly geared to the reptile world. I did not realize it was preset to a certain temp and could not be adjusted by any means. What a mistake! Its only pros are that its suction cups tended to stay in place better than many of its predecessors, and its case is easy to remove to clean. Now, if only it would have actually heated the water! No matter where I placed it within the tank, I could not get it to go above 76 degrees, a temp which is too low as a good maintenance temp that vets recommend for turtles even when they are in good health. For heaven's sake, it only had to heat 4 gallons of water and it couldn't do it!! This is particularly confusing to me, since the target demographic for this product is aquatic turtles. So there I was, with a sick turtle and no way to get the water temp up high enough to help him. I had to dry dock him under towels for three days till a new, adjustable heater arrived. I'm so grateful he was able to hold on. He looked so bad, reddish mucus everywhere and he really seemed to be failing. I was bracing myself, almost positive I would lose him. Thankfully, the new adjustable heater came, I got the water up to the recommended therapeutic temperature and he eventually pulled through. I was REALLY lucky. I'm very bummed, though, because I had much going on around here and managed to miss the return deadline, so I'm stuck with this thing. Another point to keep in mind if you are considering this type of heater: A turtle's health can change on a dime, as I learned late on that Saturday night. What will you do if your little guy takes sick and you can't immediately provide him with the extra bump in temp you need to give him the warmth his body needs to at least try to help him recover? Those first hours can be critical. All I can say is, keep looking. Preset types in general are just a bad idea. Decent adjustable ones ARE out there and I did find a really good yet affordable one, in the same price range as this Repto model. I'm grateful that I now have a fully submersible, accurate, easily adjustable heater, without glass tubes and encased in plastic that cleans easily. It's just a shame that my turtle almost lost his life in the process. I'd love to tell you the name of this better heater, but don't think Amazon's review rules would allow it. Bottom line:. As I said, If you care about your turtle, KEEP LOOKING! This is NOT the product to buy!

very reliable and effective trustworthy heater
this tank heater works. it Keeps the temperature in my tank between 76 and 78 when I have no heating lamps on and the tank isn't under an open window... my little snappers like to get up on it and crawl on top when its time for me to feed them and take them out of the tank they sit there and wait for me to pick them up .. they can't eat if they are too cold .. if the feeding water tank is too cold or hot or the inside tank is too cold or hot they wont feed properly . so temperature is very important .. this is an excellent product for your turtles.

Not sure, could be user error. Read my review
I have a 10 gallon tank and I’m not sure if it works. My temp goes from 75-78 but I can’t tell if it’s warming the water or my apartment is just warm. It doesn’t have an indication that it works. Randomly I’ll see a red light on the back but faded fast and doesn’t feel warm around the warmer. I still recommend as it could be user error and he seems to be more active since I put it in the tank so must be working.

Tetra-Aquatic Reptile Heater, 100 Watt for 20 Gallon Long
I purchased this heater for my 20 gallon long. I've used it for almost a month now and I noticed that it doesn't warm the water up quite enough. I had to use an additional heater along with this one to get the right temperature. This Tetra heater is not the worst, but it's not exactly the best. I think it might work better for a smaller tank. Initially, I thought the heater wasn't working because there wasn't any sort of indicator light. However, the red light on the heater will pop up if the temperature of the water needs to be raised. The only pro I can think of is that my turtles like this heater because they can rest on the protective guard.
