Reptiles and amphibians are cold-blooded and in their natural environment often utilize surfaces warmed by the sun to heat themselves. The Exo Terra Heat Mat is a substrate heater for terrariums that simulates these sun-warmed surfaces.

Exo Terra Heat Mats are an ideal 24-hour primary or secondary heat source for tropical or temperate species of reptiles and amphibians and essentially serve as a summer heat source for many desert species.

The Exo Terra Heat Mat permanently adheres to the terrarium, forming a solid assembly for optimal heat transfer. It can be used with an Exo Terra thermostat and/or in combination with additional heat sources for higher temperature species.
