    Hi, so I’m not sure if this is a fixable issue but I purchased a reptile heat mat on line since my old one had a bend in it, but this one came rolled up which is even worse! This seemed to be purposeful though am I just not getting something? Is it okay if the mats have a bend or roll in them...

    I'm hoping you'll please help give advice. I would like to use a reptile heat mat for an indoor cabinet greenhouse (IKEA Rudsta short) with high humidity to grow tropical plants. I have been looking at heat mats with thermostats attached, for reptiles and seedlings. I'm looking for a large plain...

    hallo forum! I'm planning on getting a pacman frog as soon as the environment in the tank is suitable for them. As of now, I have a 6 gallon tank (I'll be getting a small one around the size of 50p and moving it to a 10 gal once it's large enough) with roughly 3-4" substrate (cocofiber)...

    I just got a Repti Zoo terrarium and wanted to put a heat mat on the bottom for my king snake, but the underside doesn't feel like glass to me. Has anyone else used these terrariums with a heat mat? I can't find anything on the site about it or any reviews. This terrarium: 35.3 Gallons Full...

    Me and my partner are getting a leopard gecko this weekend, we set up the viv (dimensions 87cm x 48 x 38) last weekend and everything works fine except the heat mat. It just doesn’t seem to get hot. We need about 27-30 degrees overnight but we are only getting 21-22 degrees. We use a mix of sand...

    I am preparing to get a ball python. I want to build a wooden vivarium for it instead of a glass tank. i have tried to research heat tape but I can’t find any answers, plus it looks very complicated and expensive. So, could I give belly heat by putting A heat mat in between two tiles? It needs...

    I'm getting a corn snake soon, and I still don't know if it's better to get a heat lamp or a heat mat. I am going to be using UVB with my corn snake, but I don't know if there are benefits of using a heat mat over a heat lamp or vice versa.

    So I got an adjustable heat pad for my leopard geckos and I have a probe thermostat set up that tells me how hot the heat pad is and the heat pad temperature kept going down to 70 and up to 110 without me changing it. I had it set at 89-90 degrees Fahrenheit. But it kept a going down and up so I...

    Hello! I’m somewhat new to owning GALS. My mother had some when I was much younger, but hers since passed away and she has shared her love of creatures with me. I had some queries about how I should set my tank up for my snails. I’ve put the thermostat on the same side as the heat mat (which is...

    Hi all, I have a new set up for American Green Tree Frog but the 12w heat mat I purchased is now out of stock. They have the 25w version in stock but I am concerned this could be too powerful in some way and cause injury. Obviously I will have a thermostat in place for overall temperature. My...

    I got a new vivarium which is 34 inches long and I bought a new heat mat but it was the wrong size which was 29 inches long so is it safe to fold the heat mat in half with a hot side facing the bottom of the vivarium and one facing up which would be the one that would heat the gecko?

    I've done a search but struggled to find the answer. I've bought a heat mat with vivexotic heat mat holder for my 4 month old corn snake who is in wooden viv (hence the heat mat holder) which is 58x38x42. The current heating set up is basking bulb during the day which *just* reaches the...
