Zilla Heat Mats Terrarium Heater

Reptiles need external heat to keep their body temperature up. Zilla's Carbon Fiber Heat Mats for terrariums are a great solution. They give off a steady stream of warmth, which reptiles can soak up from their surroundings. This helps them stay at the right temperature for daily activities, a good appetite, and proper digestion. The carbon fiber heating tech works by efficiently sending out infrared waves. This creates an even heat all over, with no hot spots. It's also energy - efficient and has no wires that could get pinched or break. Each mat comes with an adhesive backing and runs on low voltage, with a max temp of 113°F. Thanks to its material properties, it won't get too hot, so there's no need for a thermal switch that might fail. These mats are perfect for both desert and tropical reptiles. They're easy to install, either under or on the side of the terrarium. They're a key part of helping reptiles maintain good health by regulating their body temperature. Just remember to always set up temperature gradients in the terrarium so your reptiles can warm up or cool down as they need.

Using these Zilla heat mats is a breeze. First, decide if you want to place the mat under or on the side of the terrarium. Since it has an adhesive backing, just peel off the backing and stick it firmly in place. When you turn it on, it will start radiating heat evenly. It's important to always create temperature gradients in the terrarium. You can do this by placing the mat on one side, so your reptile has a warm area and a cooler area to choose from. As for maintenance, keep the mat clean by gently wiping it with a soft, dry cloth. Don't use any harsh chemicals as they could damage the carbon fiber. Check the mat regularly for any signs of wear and tear. And remember, the mat has a maximum temperature of 113°F and its material properties prevent it from getting too hot, but still keep an eye on it to make sure your reptile is comfortable.
