Create a warm zone in your terrarium or vivarium with the Reptile One Heat Mat. Designed to provide localised warmth, it helps create a temperature gradient so your reptile can move between warmer and cooler areas. It can also provide supplemental warmth overnight in setups that need it.
Choose from four sizes, from the compact 5W mat to the wider 20W model. Each mat runs on 240V and has a built-in thermal safety cut-off set at 50°C.

Simply Fish recommendation
Choose the mat by the area you want to warm. The 5W is the most compact option, the 7W has a narrow rectangular footprint, the 14W covers a square area, and the 20W has the largest footprint. Leave room for a cooler zone and follow the manufacturer’s installation instructions for your enclosure.
Check the temperature where your reptile actually rests using a digital probe thermometer. The built-in 50°C cut-off is an overheating safeguard. Set your enclosure’s target temperatures according to your reptile’s species and use a compatible thermostat if you need to regulate the heat mat to a specific temperature.
FAQs
Which heat mat size should I choose?
Compare the mat’s dimensions with the area you want to heat. Leave enough room for your reptile to move away from the warm zone.
Can I leave the heat mat on overnight?
It can provide overnight warmth when your reptile’s care requirements call for it. Check the enclosure temperatures after the setup has stabilised.
Can a heat mat replace a basking lamp?
A heat mat provides localised warmth. If your reptile needs an overhead basking area or UVB lighting, provide those separately.
Does the 50°C cut-off control the enclosure temperature?
The cut-off protects against overheating at the mat. Use a thermometer to check the actual temperature inside the enclosure.
