Reptiles and amphibians are cold-blooded and in their natural habitat they often use surfaces heated by the sun to warm up. The Exo Terra Heat Mat is a terrarium substrate heater that simulates these surfaces heated by the sun. Exo Terra’s Heat Mats are an ideal 24-hour primary or secondary heat source for tropical or temperate reptile and amphibian species and essential as a nighttime heat source for many desert species. The Exo Terra Heat Mat permanently adheres to the terrarium, forming a solid bond for optimal heat transfer. Can be used with an Exo Terra Thermostat and/or in conjunction with additional heat sources for higher temperature species.

For glass terrariums only, read all instructions carefully.

Rubber spacers included.

Can be used with the Exo Terra Thermostats.

Additional heat sources can be used in conjunction with the Exo Terra Heat Mat.

It is important to leave sufficient ‘cold spots’ to provide the animals with options and make thermoregulation possible.

Available in 4, 8, 16 and 25 Watts

Optimal Digestion.

The conductive heat supplied by both the Exo Terra® Heat Mats and Heat Cables will allow your reptiles to thermoregulate their body temperature to achieve the optimal temperature for enhanced activity and healthy digestion of their food items. The Infrared heat radiation penetrates via the skin and will aid cell growth, wound-healing, promote the immune system, protect against UV damage, and stimulate many other biological processes. The Exo Terra® Heat Mats and Heat Cables increase the ambient temperature and provide heat gradients for thermoregulation without disturbing the animals day and night cycle.

True To Nature.

Reptiles are ectotherm and thus need a specific ambient temperature, in order to thrive. The Exo Terra® In-Tank Heaters increase the ambient temperature which will allow your reptiles to reach their preferred body temperature for enhanced activity and the healthy digestion of their food items.

Stimulates thermoregulation.

The Infrared heat radiation will aid cell growth, wound-healing, promote the immune system, protect against UV damage, and stimulate many other biological processes. The Exo Terra® In-Tank Heaters provide the conductive heat directly where it is needed most, making them highly energy efficient. Because the Exo Terra® In-Tank Heaters do not emit any visible light, the long wave infrared heat produced by these emitters will not disrupt the animals day and night cycle, making it an excellent 24-hour radiant heat source for reptiles and amphibians.
