What to Compare Before Buying
- Tank material: This mat is described for glass containers. If you use a plastic terrarium, check carefully before buying because continuous heating may melt plastic.
- Power level: The stated rating is 7W. Compare that with the warmth level you want for your enclosure.
- Temperature control: Adjustable temperature control is useful if you need to set the heat rather than run a fixed pad.
- Placement: Check whether you want bottom or side installation on your setup.
- Space and enclosure type: Make sure the mat suits the size and material of the tank or container you plan to use.
Important Limitations
- Do not use it with plastic terrariums if heat could affect the box.
- Do not submerge the mat in water.
- Do not place reptiles or insects directly on the mat.
- If the mat is punctured or badly deformed, stop using it.
- Do not use it in a confined space.
Before You Decide
Confirm that the 7W mat suits your tank size and heating needs. Check that your enclosure is made from a suitable material, and make sure you are happy with bottom or side mounting before choosing an offer.
