What makes the Wilbanks Advanced Radiant Heat Panel different?
Each Wilbanks Advanced Radiant Heat Panel proudly carries the ETL Listed mark, indicating it has been independently tested by Intertek and meets North American electrical and safety standards. This mark confirms that your panel passes stringent performance, fire resistance, and electrical safety requirements—giving you peace of mind that it’s safe, reliable, and fully compliant.
Our revolutionary reptile radiant heat panel system consists of a Fiber Optic Heat Element encased in double silicone insulation with aluminum backing to deflect the heat downward and produce heat quickly, evenly and most of all safely. All of this is encased in a 1.5mm galvanized steel back plate and a 1mm steel coated front plate to direct heat downwards leaving a small 2mm gap for heat to be distributed instead of transferred upwards. What we have achieved here is an incredible difference between the heat on the front of the panel and the heat on the back of the panel. The slim line case is less than 3/4 inches thick!

FAQs
Radiant heat is a system that supplies warmth directly to your reptile’s enclosure through an ultra-slim panel mounted on the underside of the habitat. Unlike other heating methods, radiant heat panels work through heat transfer—delivering warmth safely from the panel’s surface to the animals and objects inside the enclosure using gentle infrared radiation. This creates a natural, even, and reliable heat source without the risks of hot spots or exposed heating elements.
Reptile radiant heat panels are one of the safest and most efficient heating options available today. Compared to ceramic heat emitters or deep heat projector bulbs, radiant heat panels use less energy, making them more cost-effective to run. They deliver reliable, consistent warmth that creates accurate heat gradients and maintains optimal ambient temperatures—ensuring your reptiles live in a stable, healthy environment.
Yes—Wilbanks Advanced Radiant Heat Panels are designed with safety as the top priority. Each panel is ETL Certified, meaning it has been independently tested to meet rigorous North American safety standards for electrical performance, fire resistance, and reliability. Unlike exposed bulbs or heat mats, our slimline panels produce gentle, even infrared warmth without the risk of burns, hot spots, or open heating elements. Hand-assembled in Italy to exacting standards, they provide a safe, consistent, and worry-free heating solution for your reptiles.

YES. Infact we will never recommend purchasing a RHP without a quality thermostat. Operating a radiant heat panel without a thermostat can be dangerous, as high temperature levels in the enclosure can result in fire or the death of your reptile. The Wilbanks Radiant Heat Panels should never be operated without a thermostat.
The short answer is, any heat source is capable of burning. Having said that, Radiant Heat Panels have been used safely in reptile enclosures for many years. Our panels are ultra slim therefore your animal (snake) is unable to wrap itself around the panel. Panels are installed flush with the underside of the top of your enclosure well away from your animal. Our panels are safe in 12 inch tall and taller enclosures.
In most cases the answer is yes. Not all manufacturers pre drill holes. Simply because each customer will want the panel on one side OR the other. The inline connection plug MUST be located outside the cage.
