Exo Terra Heat Mat 8 W PTC

Self-regulating Heat Mat Perfect for all glass terrariums A conductive heat source that raises ambient temperature Promotes optimal thermoregulation in reptiles, amphibians, and invertebrates Quick warm-up and maintains a 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 creatures that naturally bask on sun-warmed surfaces to manage their body temperature. The Exo Terra Heat Mat generates a thermal gradient, simulating sun-warmed areas to enhance your reptile’s comfort. This Self-regulating Heat Mat provides even conductive heating, eliminating hotspots and promoting optimal thermoregulation in reptiles, amphibians, and invertebrates. This regulation is vital for improving their metabolism, appetite, digestion, and overall activity levels. The advanced PTC Carbon Fiber heating technology features improved safety aspects such as an automatic fail-safe mechanism, quick warm-up times, and a self-regulating maximum temperature to ensure peak performance and safety. The Exo Terra Heat Mat is highly energy-efficient, boasting an electrothermal conversion efficiency of over 95%, delivering enhanced heat output at similar wattage levels. This Heat Mat is an ideal primary or secondary heat source for reptiles, amphibians, and invertebrates, particularly as a nighttime heat source for various species. The Terrarium Substrate Heater is designed to permanently adhere to the terrarium, creating a strong bond for optimal heat transfer. We recommend pairing the conductive heat from 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 optimal temperatures for improved activity and healthy digestion. The small amount of UVA rays emitted by the Basking Spot also supports their physiological health and encourages breeding behavior. The Heat Mat can be used with an Exo Terra Thermostat and/or alongside additional heat sources, catering to the specific temperature requirements of high-temperature species. Rubber spacers included. NOTE: It's crucial to maintain sufficient “cold spots” within the habitat, allowing your pets a range of temperature options for effective body temperature regulation. This practice enhances their well-being and contributes to a more comfortable living environment. Dimension: 20 x 15 cm REPLACEMENT FOR HAPT2016 Exo Terra Heat Mat 8 W
