## Questions & Answers

**Q: Can this be safely used for bearded dragons?**
A: Yes it can safely be used for bearded dragons I've used them for box turtles lizards and snakes and they last for ever I hope this helps

**Q: Is it waterproof?**
A: It says on the box that ir is water resistant.  Do no submerge. A little humidity or misting is okay.

**Q: What is the size of the mini?**
A: The Mini Rock Heater is 8.6"x4.6"x1.9".  It's a great size for small cages.

**Q: I am a beekeeper does any one know if this will somewhat heat a hive what temp does the rock get thanks**
A: I got this rock to create a warm spot in my sugar glider cage if they needed it. It always has at least one layer of fabric over it and it does not seem to "radiate" a lot of heat so I'm not sure how big of an area it would keep warm. I believe the outside surface of the rock is supposed to be at about 101 degrees.

## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Obviously Works
*by C***. on June 11, 2021*

My Bearded Dragon Pete loves this thing.Sometimes I think here prefers it over the heat and UV lamp.There’s no temp control it’s just plug and go.It feels like a rock or ceramic and he loves it.It’s good for his belly so to make it easier for him to digest his food.I keep this plugged all day everyday.Occasionally I’ll turn it off for awhile or overnight while he’s sleeping but sometimes I wake up and he’s on it like wandering what happened to my heat.But for these reasons and health wise you definitely cannot beat the price.I highly recommend this.He sets on it most of the day and I see him on it at night so don’t worry about it being to hot for your bearded dragon.If it was too hot my Pete would have fried by now as much as he stays on, plus I’m sure he has enough since to get off if it’s getting too hot.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Awesome Secondary Heat Source
*by L***N on October 26, 2014*

I use this mini rock heater as a secondary heat source for my female adult leopard gecko. In a 10 gallon terrarium, I barely have to use my primary heat sources as it heats much of the tank. It doesn't get too hot, but it gets to be a really comfortable warmth. My gecko has taken to it well enough that she sleeps on it often(even when unplugged and cool). I was cautious about it at first because I had heard the horror stories with other heat rocks having bad hot spots and burning the animal, so I let it heat on my dresser. I waited until it seem to be steady on its heating and it seems that the heating is very well distributed.As far as size, this is perfect. Again, I have a large adult leopard gecko and it is more than big enough for her. If I had more than one gecko, I might consider going up to the medium size.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 8/10
*by L***S on October 10, 2020*

I have used these since I got my geckos and they work great. My only complaint is they can get really hot and the last one I had (lasted ~ a year and a half) cracked from the heat... I only say that cuz I've never dropped it or moved it around. There's no other reason it could have cracked. It didn't break completely but once I noticed the crack I removed it because it started getting way to hot for them. I love this product and would definitely recommend it. Just keep an eye on it. 8/10
