The Exo Terra heat mat is an essential accessory for the species-appropriate keeping of reptiles and amphibians. Measuring 18x10 cm, it simulates the sun-warmed surfaces favoured by cold-blooded animals. This self-regulating heating mat creates a heat gradient in the terrarium, which is crucial for the thermoregulation of your animals. This promotes their metabolism, appetite and activity. Equipped with advanced PTC carbon fibre heating technology, the mat offers safety and efficiency. The automatic fail-safe and rapid warm-up function ensure a stable environment, while the self-regulating function prevents overheating. With an electro-thermal efficiency of over 95%, the heating mat is also energy efficient and ensures optimum heating performance without high energy consumption.
