Tortoise Heating

Personally have a radiator that is fitted to the top of my enclosure I was wondering are heat rocks any good or are there any other products that are good?

I think you need to be a little more specific so we know what kind of tort you have and what kind of habitat you are trying to heat.

No, heat rocks are not good because you can't regulate the temp and the animal can get burned.

No not at all it will burn them and also in my opinion they are junk so get something else so it won't hurt your tort

I really like CHE's but I only use them at night. I just stick to your basic basking spot lamp during the day.
