Heat mat for reptiles with thermostat

The reptile heat mat with regulator is a constant heat source that gives off no light, so it works as night-time heat or as daytime support in cold climates or vivariums with poor heat retention. It heats from the base or one side, simulating the temperature of natural ground, and is sold in five sizes, from 5 W to 28 W.

Where should the heat mat be placed?

Thanks to its thin, durable design, the heat mat is placed under the vivarium or on one of its sides, and spreads the heat evenly. Avoid covering it completely with deep substrate so as not to reduce its effectiveness. Unlike bulbs or ceramic emitters, it heats from below, which aids digestion in reptiles and amphibians. It is silent and has low energy consumption.

Do you need a thermostat with the heat mat?

The heat mat has a built-in power regulator, but for more precise control it is recommended to combine it with a thermostat: this way you keep a constant temperature and avoid overheating.
