seen those in the shops...always wandered if they are just a heat mat and if so why the heck they coem in a box....almost opened one to have a peek once but didnt lol

i think they are aheatmat but i suspect they are slightly different in soem way from the majority.

yeah thats what i thought was wondering if anybody knew the difference
like if there better than the standard mats you get or if there just another make/type of the ones i already use
thanks

they are just as good as other heatmats except... they are self adhesive so good if you have the exo terra terraniums or similar cus you can stick them onto the bottom so better conductivity. wouldnt really recommend for wood ones as it is a bit pointless to have this feature imo

Hope this helps, Neil
