• Supports optimal thermoregulation in reptiles, amphibians and invertebrates
• Rapid heating and self-regulating maximum temperature
• Even heating eliminates concentrated hot spots

Reptiles and amphibians are cold-blooded and naturally bask on sun-warmed surfaces in their habitats to regulate their body temperature. The heating mat Exo Terra creates a thermal gradient, mimicking sun-warmed surfaces for your reptile's comfort. The self-regulating heating mat allows for uniform conductive heating, thus eliminating concentrated hot spots and promoting optimal thermoregulation in reptiles, amphibians, and invertebrates. This is crucial for improving their metabolism, appetite, digestion, and overall physical activity. The advanced heating technology using PTC carbon fibre incorporates improved safety features such as an automatic safety mechanism, rapid warming capabilities, and self-regulating maximum temperature for optimal performance and safety. The heating mat Exo Terra is remarkably energy efficient, with an electro-thermal conversion efficiency exceeding 95%, providing increased heat output at equivalent wattage levels. The heating mat serves as an optimal primary or secondary heat source 24 hours a day for reptiles, amphibians, and invertebrates. It is particularly essential as a nocturnal heat source for various species. The substrate heating for terrariums permanently adheres to the terrarium, forming a strong bond for optimal heat transfer. We recommend combining the conductive heat from our heating mat with the radiant infrared-A heat from our Exo Terra Basking Spots. The solar power density of our Basking Spots, combined with the conductive heat from our heating mat, enables your reptiles to thermoregulate their body temperature to achieve an optimal temperature for increased activity and healthy digestion of their food. The small portion of UVA rays from the Basking Spot also contributes to their physiological well-being and stimulates breeding behaviour. Can be used with a thermostat Exo Terra and/or in conjunction with additional heat sources, meeting the specific temperature needs of high-temperature species. Rubber spacers included.
