"small size is perfect for leopard geckos, as long as it is not a new baby the heat wattage is perfect and does not burn him i’ve had the same one for about 5 months and it’s been perfect with no problems."
"Sensor stops working and Rock either won’t heat or will overheat and burn the reptile. Do not buy. Would give 0 stars if possible"
