Heat Mats for Snakes & Lizards - Adjust-a-Temp Reptile Heat Mats

[wellwellcoolkid]

so would if i use a heat mat on a 29 qt storage bin will it melt the bin? or should i not do that?

[BigApplePetSupply]

@wellwellcoolkid I think you are better off using our intellitemp heat mats which are made for plastic enclosures.

baby corn snake  is 85 to 93 degrees right

[c032970]

i have my heat mat on there sticking to my tub no tin foil will it still get too hot with about a inch and a quarter of aspen

[BigApplePetSupply]

@c032970 You can use a thermostat to keep it at the temp you need it to be.

[c032970]

i dont need a temp gage do i?

[S3XYBOI100]

Could you put the heat mat inside the tank, underneath the substrate? Please could i have an answer asap

[BigApplePetSupply]

@S3XYBOI100 Yes, but you must make sure even on the lowest setting that the mat doesn't get too hot as bedding insulates heat and makes it go higher.

So what do I put between the heat mat and my wooden dresser? If you say insulation I won't understand what that is/:..

[NotTheUsualChoice]

Do you think it would be safe to plug about three of these into a outlet with one of those things that allow more than two plug ins?(Cant think of what its called lol)

[BigApplePetSupply]

@NotTheUsualChoice If you are referring to a six strip outlet that should be no issue.

1) Cute snake(:

2) Would it be safe to put a heat mat on a wood dresser and place the cage on top of that?

3) For a bearded dragon, would you put a heat mat on the basking or resting side of the cage?

[BigApplePetSupply]

@RentBrisius96 You have to always be careful when placing a heat mat on wood, it could mar the wood so I would recommend placing some insulation (the pink sheet kind) between the wood and the enclosure. Also set the adjust a temp on the lowest setting to start. Lastly, ALWAYS put the mat on the basking side of the cage. One side should be cooler and darker than the other.

Are they good for leopard geckos and bearded dragons?

[BigApplePetSupply]

@lizardlord15 Absolutely!

[jacob9853109]

Should I attach the sticky side to tin foil? And if I used that heat pad on low along with a sun glo bulb 100 watt (already gets tank to 85) would that exceed ninety degrees in a ten gallon aquarium? Let me know. Thanks!

[BigApplePetSupply]

@jacob9853109 Yes, sticky side to tin foil so you can change position whenever you want. 100 watt in a 10 gallon would be way too hot with a heat pad. A 40 or 60 watt would likely be more than enough.

Hi ive been thinking of getting a corn snake and from the research I've done ppl have said to get a thermostat with the heat mat can someone explain to me why I need a thermostat if it has temperature controls?

[BigApplePetSupply]

@lglukey96 Typically with a heat mat like this which has a controller you would not need a thermostat. Many heat mats on the market do not have a built in controller and then a thermostat is often helpful.

[UhoezMovement]

I have a 40 gal breeder and the 22 watt is to long to turn to the side. so what can i do? i wanted to to the side of the tank,instead of turning it and it go toward the middle of the tank. understand what i'm saying?

[TillHeartStops777]

what size would be perect for a 40 gallon tak?

[BigApplePetSupply]

@TillHeartStops777 The largest size 8 x 18" in accordance with Steven the Pet Man's description in the video of calculating 1/3 to 1/2 of the bottom of the enclosure.

[gkjh9519HD]

for a corn snake do you need any other heat source or can you use just use the mat?

[skullcash11]

@gkjh9519HD You can use it as your own heat norce but make sure it covers 1/2 the cave one warm side one cool side & with the thermostate make sure it doesnt get higher then 89.you wanna keep it around 87-88 Its Not to Hot & its not to cool & on the cool side if you get a temp gauge make sure its about 75-80

At night you can drop temps but no loweer then 70F

It'll be a few years before I'll get my first pet reptile (ball python), but I'm resarching the care for them and have several questions:

1.Why put tin foil on the adhesive side, wouldn't the tin foil burn or catch fire? Is there other things besides tin foil that can be used?

2.Would I need to use a ceramic heat emitter with an undertank heater?

3.Would I need to use a thermostat with any heat sources?

Thanks for the helpful videos

[BigApplePetSupply]

@cummins789 You can just mount it to the tank but then you'll never get it off and tin foil is safe to use. Question 2 can only be answered by knowing the style and size of the tank. We recommend thermostats to control any heat source. Thanks for watching the videos.

[UhoezMovement]

@BigApplePetSupply how would you mount it? I might add tin foil to mine..but what can i get to hold it under the tank if it's unable to stick?

[ImsoUhoez]

@BigApplePetSupply how do we mount it if we have tin foil on it?

[mrchunky100]

mine doest have an ajustable het pad how do in control the heat

[mrchunky100]

@mrchunky100 i mean heat
