ZooMed Turtletherm Heater
Hold your turtle's water at a safe, steady temperature, automatically. The ZooMed Turtletherm is a fully submersible aquatic turtle heater preset to a turtle-safe 78°F, so there is no dial to set and no guesswork. A built-in safety shut-off cuts power the moment the heater is lifted out of the water, the failure that cracks ordinary aquarium heaters. Pick 50, 100, 150, or 300 watts to match your tank volume.

Why Keepers Trust the Turtletherm
- Preset to 78°F. No temperature dial to adjust and no risk of a bumped setting cooking your tank. Plug it in and it holds the target.
- Out-of-water safety shut-off. If the heater is lifted out or the water level drops below it, power cuts automatically to prevent overheating and cracking.
- Fully submersible. Mounts low on the side or back glass with the included suction cups so it stays hidden under the water line.
- Built for aquatic turtle habitats. Sized and shaped for red-eared sliders, painted, musk, mud, map turtles, African sidenecks, and similar species.
- Backed by a 1-year warranty.

FAQ
Do I have to set a temperature?
No. The Turtletherm is factory preset to 78°F, so you just submerge it, mount it, and plug it in.
Which wattage should I buy?
Match the wattage to your water volume using the table above. When in doubt, or in a cooler room, size up.
Can I use it in a regular freshwater fish tank?
Yes. The 78°F preset suits tropical community fish as well as aquatic turtles, so it works in any freshwater aquarium of the matching size.
What does the safety shut-off do?
It cuts power automatically if the heater is lifted out of the water or the water level falls below it, which protects the heater from cracking and prevents overheating.
