Reptiles and amphibians are ectothermic and naturally seek out sun-warmed surfaces in their environments to regulate their body temperature. The Exo Terra Heat Mat creates a thermal gradient that mimics these sun-heated areas for the comfort of your reptile. This Self-regulating Heat Mat delivers uniform conductive heating, eliminating concentrated hotspots and supporting optimal thermoregulation for reptiles, amphibians, and invertebrates. This is essential for boosting their metabolism, appetite, digestion, and overall activity levels.

Featuring advanced PTC Carbon Fiber heating technology, this mat includes enhanced safety measures such as an automatic fail-safe mechanism, quick warm-up capabilities, and a self-regulating maximum temperature to ensure both performance and safety. The Exo Terra Heat Mat is highly energy efficient, with an electrothermal conversion efficiency exceeding 95%, allowing for greater heat output at similar wattage levels.

Designed to serve as an ideal primary or secondary heat source for reptiles, amphibians, and invertebrates, it is especially vital as a nighttime heat source for various species. The Terrarium Substrate Heater permanently affixes to the terrarium, creating a solid bond for efficient 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 the Basking Spots, combined with the conductive heat of the Heat Mat, enables your reptiles to thermoregulate effectively, achieving an ideal temperature for improved activity and healthy digestion. Additionally, the small amount of UVA rays from the Basking Spot contributes to their overall well-being and can stimulate breeding behavior.

This product can be utilized with an Exo Terra Thermostat and/or alongside additional heat sources, catering to the specific temperature requirements of high-temperature species. Rubber spacers are included.

NOTE: It is crucial to maintain ample “cold spots” within the terrarium, ensuring that your pets have access to a range of temperature options to effectively regulate their body temperature. This practice enhances their welfare and creates a more comfortable environment.
