Exo Terra Heat Mat 24 W PTC

Self-regulating Heat Mat Perfect for all glass terrariums A conductive heat source that raises ambient temperatures Facilitates optimal thermoregulation for reptiles, amphibians, and invertebrates Quick warming and self-regulating maximum temperature Consistent heating prevents concentrated hotspots Enhanced safety with an automatic fail-safe feature Energy-efficient design Durable construction for a longer lifespan Includes self-adhesive backing IPX6 water resistant Reptiles and amphibians are ectothermic and naturally bask on sun-warmed surfaces in their environments to control their body temperature. The Exo Terra Heat Mat creates a thermal gradient that simulates sun-warmed areas for your reptile's comfort. The Self-regulating Heat Mat delivers even conductive heating, effectively removing concentrated hotspots and supporting optimal thermoregulation in reptiles, amphibians, and invertebrates. This is essential for improving their metabolism, appetite, digestion, and overall activity levels. The advanced PTC Carbon Fiber heating technology includes enhanced safety mechanisms like an automatic fail-safe, quick warm-up times, and a self-regulating maximum temperature to ensure peak performance and safety. The Exo Terra Heat Mat is exceptionally energy efficient, achieving an electrothermal conversion efficiency of over 95%, which means it provides increased heat output while using the same wattage. This Heat Mat is an ideal primary or secondary heat source for reptiles, amphibians, and invertebrates, especially as a nighttime heat source for various species. The Terrarium Substrate Heater adheres permanently to the terrarium, forming a strong bond for optimal heat transfer. We recommend pairing the conductive heat of our Heat Mat with the radiant infrared-A heat from our Exo Terra Basking Spots. The Solar Power Density from our Basking Spots, combined with the conductive heat of our Heat Mat, enables your reptiles to thermoregulate effectively, achieving the ideal temperature for enhanced activity and healthy digestion of their food. The small amount of UVA rays emitted by the Basking Spot also aids in their physiological health and encourages breeding behavior. It can be used alongside an Exo Terra Thermostat and/or with additional heat sources to meet the specific temperature requirements of high-temperature species. Rubber spacers are included. NOTE: It’s essential to leave sufficient “cold spots” to ensure your animals have access to various temperature options, allowing them to effectively regulate their body temperature. This promotes their well-being and creates a more comfortable habitat. Dimension: 40 x 20 cm REPLACEMENT FORHAPT2018 Exo Terra Heat Mat 25 W
