Considered. Inside and out.

Big on detail.
Small on space.

An enclosure should be built around its inhabitant. ReptiRad brings a low-profile approach to heating, with a steel casing just 18.5mm thick.

Protected against Dust, Misting and Splashing Water

ReptiRad’s IP64-rated casing adds protection against dust and water splashes from any direction.

Operates in up to 99% relative humidity

For terrestrial reptile and amphibian setups, match the heating to the species, enclosure and required temperatures.

Do not spray the panel directly or immerse it in water. Keep misting nozzles directed away from the panel and keep electrical connections dry.

The ReptiRad size calculator

Your dimensions.
A clearer starting point.

Enter the internal dimensions of your enclosure for a volume-based panel estimate. Choose centimetres or millimetres.

Size up your setup.

The guide assumes a room temperature of approximately 22–24°C. For a cooler room, we show the next model up for consideration; this is not a calculated heat-loss allowance.

Your starting point

Four sizes. One high standard.

Enter all three dimensions to see your enclosure volume and an estimated panel size.

Guidance only: obstructions, ventilation, enclosure materials, room temperature and other setup factors can affect heat distribution and results. Check actual temperatures throughout the enclosure and adjust probe placement and thermostat settings to suit your species.

How the sizing guide works

The ReptiRad size calculator uses enclosure-volume bands converted precisely to metric units. The bands have not yet been independently validated by ReptiRad or Alper for UK and European setups.

Enclosure volume, approximatelyBase estimate
Up to 226.5 litres40W
Over 226.5 to 424.8 litres80W
Over 424.8 to 1,529.1 litres125W
Over 1,529.1 to 3,624.6 litres220W
Above 3,624.6 litresContact us

Displayed limits are rounded; calculations use the exact conversions of 8, 15, 54 and 128 cubic feet. Enclosure material, ventilation, room temperature and target temperatures can change the heating requirement. Check physical fit, installation clearances and compatible thermostat control before buying. Volume does not establish species suitability or a safe temperature gradient.

Part of a complete setup

Built for
your habitat.

Good heating starts with a considered installation. Plan the panel, its control and its position together.

01

Choose for your enclosure.

Consider dimensions, materials, ventilation and the temperatures you need to maintain.

02

Plan the installation.

Follow the instructions for your panel and confirm mounting requirements before fitting.

03

Control and monitor.

Use a compatible thermostat and check temperatures throughout the enclosure.

Your questions.
Clear answers.

Can I buy directly from ReptiRad?

ReptiRad panels are sold through our retail partners. Use the Shop page to select your country and find a purchasing destination.

Which panel should I choose?

Wattage alone is not enough to choose a panel. Enclosure construction, size, ventilation, ambient room temperature and the required temperature gradient all matter. Compare the models above and contact us with your setup details for guidance.

Where can I get help with installation?

Refer to the instructions supplied with your panel. If you need clarification before installing, contact ReptiRad with your model and enclosure details.

Choosing your panel

What size reptile heat panel do I need?

Start with your enclosure, then choose the panel. Volume gives you a first estimate; the complete setup determines whether that estimate is suitable.

Choosing a thermostat for your ReptiRad heat panel

A thermostat is an essential part of the setup. Choose the correct control mode, check the electrical rating and secure the probe before switching on.
