Exo Terra Heat Mat 25W Terrarium Substrate Heater Reptile

The Exo Terra Heat Mat 25W is a terrarium substrate heater designed to simulate surfaces heated by the sun, providing a crucial heat source for reptiles and amphibians. Ideal as a 24-hour primary or secondary heat source for tropical and temperate species, it's also essential as a nighttime heat source for many desert species. Reptiles and amphibians are cold-blooded, and this heat mat allows them to thermoregulate as they would in their natural habitat. The Exo Terra Heat Mat permanently adheres to the terrarium, creating a secure bond for optimal heat transfer. It's designed for use with glass terrariums only. Key features include: * **25 Watt Heat Output:** Provides consistent and reliable heat for your reptile's environment. * **Substrate Heater:** Warms the terrarium floor, mimicking natural basking conditions. * **Optimal Digestion:** Aids in digestion by providing belly heat. * **Stimulates Thermoregulation:** Allows reptiles to regulate their body temperature. * **Safe and Reliable:** Can be used with an Exo Terra Thermostat for precise temperature control. * **Easy Installation:** Permanently adheres to the terrarium for optimal heat transfer. * **Versatile Use:** Suitable for tropical, temperate, and desert reptile and amphibian species. * **Important Note:** Always leave sufficient 'cold spots' within the terrarium to allow animals to properly thermoregulate. * **Accessories:** Rubber spacers included. Additional heat sources can be used in conjunction with the Exo Terra Heat Mat
