Exo Terra Under Tank Terrarium Substrate Reptile Heater Mat

Reptile Heater Mat

Reptiles and amphibians, being cold - blooded creatures, rely on external heat sources. In the wild, they often soak up warmth from sun - heated surfaces. The Exo Terra® Heat Mat acts as a fantastic terrarium substrate heater, mimicking those sun - kissed spots. It's an excellent 24 - hour heat source, whether as a primary or secondary option, for tropical or temperate reptiles and amphibians. For many desert species, it's a must - have for nighttime warmth. The heat mat firmly attaches to the terrarium, ensuring top - notch heat transfer. You can pair it with an Exo Terra Thermostat or use it alongside other heat sources for species that need higher temperatures.

Using the Exo Terra Reptile Heater Mat is easy. First, decide whether you want to place it under or on the side of your glass terrarium. Make sure the surface is clean and dry before attaching the mat. If you have species that need specific temperatures, you can use an Exo Terra Thermostat with the mat. Just connect them following the thermostat's instructions. For higher - temperature species, you can also use additional heat sources along with the mat. When it comes to maintenance, keep the mat clean by gently wiping it with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid getting it wet. Also, regularly check the connection to ensure it's secure and there are no signs of damage. If you notice any issues, stop using the mat and contact customer service.
