Zilla Terrarium Heat Mats Black Small, 10-20 Gallon, 8 Watt

it works just like its suppose to. keeps the tarantula warm on the cold nites.

It works

As described

First of all, my Zilla Heat Mat came in perfect condition. It had plenty of adhesive, and stuck to the bottom of my 10 gallon just fine. It came with little gel nubs to put under your tank for the mat to have airflow. It takes a little while to warm up, probably because its new, and cold outside. Stays consistent, though the middle of course seems to produce the most heat that I have it set to (92.5 for BPs.) I dont get the bad reviews, perhaps its just packing errors.

Great Product Good Quality!

Bought 2- if you are using for a leapord gecko the 10-20 gallon mat is only good for a 10 gallon tank. Its to small for a 20 gallon LONG tank.(not sure about other reptiles)The heat pad should be at least 1/3 of the tank. One of mine stuck perfectly the other one needed some assistance with gorilla tape you can also use foil tape. If using for especially a reptile be sure to get a thermostat. You have no way of telling how hot this gets and leapord geckos require a certain belly temp. (DO NOT use any lighting for leapord gecko(not sure about other reptiles)- lights damage their eyes-the red bulb is the WORST. If you need an extra heat source for ambient temp use a CHE).

DO NOT SPEND YOUR MONEY ON THIS HEATING PAD. DOES NOT HOLD A CONSTANT TEMPERATURE AT ALL. LOOK AT THE PICTURES BELOW. VERY FRUSTRATED.

Perfect

I had a another one (that broke down), that was at the same size, also 4W, and produced more heat. This one doesnt seem to heat as well. She stays outside her shed and tried to attach herself to it to get warm, she didnt do that with the previous one, her shed was warm enough. UPDATE: after a few months completely stopped working

Sticks on side of tank so one does not risk burning underside of where cage is kept. Lets not forget that this comes with the reward points!!!
