Heat Mat 258-274 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 heated gradually and with little 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 infrared and has a long wavelength.

Suitable for

- Breeding and care of ants.
- Breeding and care of stick insects.
- Breeding and care of praying mantises.
- Breeding and care of reptiles and insects.

Usage

In principle, this heat mat can be used without a thermostat. In case 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. This is also available from us.

This heat mat measures 258 by 274 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 proceed much faster with a heat mat. It is not essential 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 heat a part (e.g., with the eggs that need to hatch). For larger breeding nets (such as the professional breeding cage), use a larger heat mat.
