Under tank heaters or heating pads are an excellent solution to offer 'belly heat' for terrestrial tropical or desert reptile species. They're super easy to install - just peel and stick them on the bottom of glass terrariums. These heating mats won't get overly hot, but they'll effectively raise the temperature on the terrarium floor. They're also a clever way to add a bit of extra warmth inside a hide or other unlit areas of the tank. The heat helps your pet's digestive system and gives them the cozy feeling they'd have in their natural habitat. Using sand or similar heat - conducting substrates will ensure the best heat transfer and maximize the mat's effectiveness. They're a top choice for bearded dragons, uromastyx, tortoises, and other reptiles that love high temperatures! The heating element is UL approved. When using under the tank, ensure proper air - flow. Place the included bumpers at the four corners of the enclosure to create a gap between the tank and the ground. If using on the sides of the enclosure, leave some space between the wall and the enclosure for air to circulate. Available wattage and sizes: Mini: 4x7', 4 watts; Small: 6x8', 8 watts; Medium: 8x12', 16 watts; Large: 8x18', 24 watts.
Using this Pangea Reptile heat mat pad is quite simple. For installation, you can easily peel and stick it on the bottom of your glass terrarium. If you want to place it on the sides of the enclosure, make sure there's enough space for air to flow between the wall and the enclosure. When using it under the tank, put the included bumpers at the four corners of the enclosure so the heating pad isn't flat on the ground, and this helps with air - flow. To get the most out of the mat, use sand or similar heat - conducting substrates. These substrates will help transfer heat better. Remember, this mat is great for bearded dragons, uromastyx, tortoises, and other high - temperature loving reptiles. The heat it provides helps your pet's digestion and makes them feel comfortable like in their natural home. As for maintenance, just keep it clean and check regularly to make sure it's working properly. The heating element is UL approved, so you can trust its safety.
