Have used this brand and heat mat for all my reptiles in 20 gallon tanks and 42 qt tubs for the past three years. They have never malfunctioned or caused damage. I recommend using aluminum foil tape to hold them more securely they dont stick too well.

After about one week the sticky came off the back and fell off of the aquarium. I have raised reptiles for years and have NEVER had this happen. Waste of money!

I have owned Zilla pads for several years and replaced them only due to age, not malfunction. They stick well but they have to stay where you put them. Maybe one day they will be able to make a static one that can be moved to accommodate changes in the habitat. That would be my only complaint.

NOT INTENDED FOR A SOLO HEAT SOURCE. Although it helps provide reptile belly heat. Its not enough to heat the entire enclosure. Not recommended for cold rooms. Doesn't stick very well for very long. Requires a thermostat sold separately. Designed for glass terrariums only.

I have this for the underbelly of my bi-level 40gal gecko tank and it works well. I can say that it isn't a noticable heat that comes off of it through eco-rug. It's just a very slight temp increase. The size was perfect and fit juuuust right for the hide beneath the bi-level. The ashesive works well and hasn't really budged since I applied it. I just wish it were a bit warmer.

Does anyone have a solution to this because it just keeps falling off the bottom of the tank

My previous heat source for the snake tank was a warming lamp. We moved the tank to a spot that the lamp wouldn't work in, so I decided to try to heat mat. It is great! Easy to install, adhered easily to the tank, and provides the warmth needed. The snake is far more active now!

The rubber stickies that hold the aquarium above the surface fall off easy so you wouldn't want to move it around very much, mat stayed well clinged to the bottom of the aquarium. I used Eco Earth for my substrate about 1 inch thick and the heat came through nicely. The mat warms the warm side up to around 83°Fahrenheit

I've been raising reptiles for 10+ years now, and this model of heat pad is one of my favorite go-to's. This product gets warm enough to please the reptiles but does not get hot enough to scorch their bellies like electric heat rocks will. One should note, however, that this won't change the temperature of the air in the cage itself so thermometers may not be a reliable way of judging if the reptile has enough heat. Don't use it near water or on fish aquariums because it can cause glass to crack. This pad also takes several hours to warm up all the way so don't throw it out if it doesn't get hot immediately. I recommend the pad for nocturnal snakes, nocturnal lizards, spiders, scorpions, and I've been raising reptiles for 10+ years now, and this model of heat pad is one of my favorite go-to's.

If you get the large model, plug it into a compatible thermostat to control the temps because it is a very powerful heater. Great product overall … more
