Heat Mat 150-520 Terramat

The Terramat Heat Mat

The Terra Heat Mats are the perfect solution for a healthy environment for your terrarium, insectarium, ant farm or vivarium. By attaching the heating mat on or under the substrate, the substrate will be heated gradually and with low energy consumption.
This heat mat is the most well-known and purchased in the world. It is available in various sizes and wattages. The heat is produced by infrared and has a long wavelength.

Suitable for

- Breeding and caring for ants.
- Breeding and caring for stick insects.
- Breeding and caring for praying mantises.
- Breeding and caring for reptiles and insects.

Usage

In principle, this heat mat can be used without a thermostat. If a specific temperature needs to be set for certain animal species, or if there is doubt about the (constant) temperature, it is advisable to use a thermostat. These are also available from us.

This heat mat is 150 by 520 mm and is suitable for all Ant Farms with sand, plaster or acrylic. You can neatly heat a part of the nest with it. This gives the ants the choice to keep a part of the nest in a warmer and/or more humid place. The development of an ant colony can go much faster with a heat mat. It is not necessary but is recommended.

Never use the heat mat under a test tube of an ant colony, as this can cause condensation and temperature problems.

You can also use these heat mats in a net cage or breeding cage to heat a part (e.g., with eggs that need to hatch). For larger breeding nets (such as the professional breeding cage), use a larger heat mat.
