Reptile Essentials - Heat Mat

Reptile Essentials:

Heat Mat for Terrariums




The main benefit of using a heat mat is that it gives your reptile the freedom to seek out heat, or to retreat to a cooler area if they choose.   Reptiles enjoy intense heat at times and the heat mat satisfies that need.  It can be placed either in or underneath the terrarium to adjust the intensity.  You can even buy a mat stat which will prevent heat build up and offers peace of mind that your home and your pets are free from harm.
Please ensure that you research your pet's individual requirements as reptiles' needs can differ greatly depending on the species. The heat mat is also ideal for sick animals as it helps support the healing process.  The extra long cable offers versatility as it means that you can place the mat either inside, or outside the terrarium.
