Abstract

See full text

A heating apparatus for providing heat and a resting place for reptiles or the like. The heating apparatus includes a housing and a heating device located at a selected level within the interior of the housing. When the reptile rests on an upper surface of the housing and the heating device is activated, heat is conveyed to the upper surface by convection currents. The housing resembles a limb and branches to simulate the natural habitat of the reptile. The limb is held above the bottom surface of the enclosure containing the reptile. The limb is injection molded and includes two body halves that are matingly joined together after the heating device is desirably positioned relative to the body halves. The branches are movable relative to the limb and one of the branches includes a channel for concealing portions of the electrical cord connected to the heating device.
