Zoo Med Naturalistic Terrarium Hood, 12-Inch

Perfect for my GTP

Fits perfect on my Exo Terra, went with this one because it’s fits bulbs up to 60 watts.

Working great and fits the top of my small 12inch width) Exo Terra terrarium perfectly. I also have Exo Terras hood. However, I have the hood that will not take anything higher than 25W bulb. The 25W bulb was not enough heat for hermit crabs. So I put the naturalistic hood on the back (as the power switch is located on its back) for the primary heat source, and the Exo Terra on the front (as this switch is located on the side) to be able to adjust the heat on colder days/ nights.

I use both the Zoo Med & Exo Terra canopies on 7 terrariums from these two companies. There isnt much to choose between them performance wise, but aesthetically I prefer the look of the Exo Terra.

it does the job a little bulky but it is what it is and havent had a problem

Great product.

snug fit, quality construction

I dont like any CFL fixtures for reptiles because they are so problematic. I work in rescue and most issues I find with the chameleons that I rescue stem from poor lighting equipment. I purchased this to test a CFL light with a Solarmeter and only use it for my lab where I may keep an animal there for a short period (as in minutes or hours) while its being medicated or treated in some way. Not ideal for long term for chameleons. I gave it 3 stars for aesthetics and design. It might be better suited for frogs or geckos.

I have 2 of the 12 s and 2 of the 24 I Love the look and the fit and the on and off switchs Wished they were more rust resistant........ The nochs in the 24 on fit my 5.5gals. Perfect but the screws rust pretty quickly

Good for reptiles that need low levels of UVB like crested geckos. Fits perfectly on my 12x12x18 ExoTerra and 12x12x18 Zilla enclosures. But, I wouldnt buy this for desert species that need higher UVB levels to prevent metabolic bone disease(bearded dragons, leopard gecko) A fluorescent tube light would work better for them.
