Heat Mat 150-390 Terramat

The Terramat Heatmat

The Terra Heat Mats are the perfect solution for a healthy environment for your terrarium, insectarium, ant farm, or vivarium. By attaching the heat 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 widely 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 cases where 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 390 mm and is suitable for all Ant Farms with sand, plaster, or acrylic. You can neatly heat a part of the nest with it. The ants then have the choice to keep a part of the nest in a warmer and/or more humid spot. The development of an ant colony can be significantly accelerated with a heat mat. It is not necessary but recommended.

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

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