Heat Mat 274-388 Terramat

The Terramat Heatmat

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

Suitable for

- Rearing and caring for ants.
- Rearing and caring for stick insects.
- Rearing and caring for praying mantises.
- Rearing 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 measures 274 by 388 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 be significantly faster with a heat mat. It is not necessary but recommended.

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

These heat mats can also be used in a net cage or breeding cage to warm a part (e.g., where eggs need to hatch). For larger breeding nets (like the professional breeding cage), use a larger heat mat.
