Product Information

The PR Cloth Element Heat Mat (47x11") 59W is a large-format substrate heater designed for reptile, amphibian, and invertebrate keepers who need consistent, low-level warmth across a significant floor area. At 47 by 11 inches and rated at 59W, this is a serious mat for larger vivariums and terrariums where even heat distribution across a wide base is a priority.

How It Works

This mat produces ultra-long wavelength infrared heat, which is absorbed directly by the animal and the surrounding cage furniture — replicating the way the ground retains solar warmth in the wild. Rather than simply heating the air, it warms surfaces and animals from below, allowing reptiles to thermoregulate behaviourally by moving on or off the heated zone as needed.

Sizing and Installation

At 47x11 inches, this mat is suited to larger enclosures where a smaller mat would leave too much unheated floor space. The right installation method will vary depending on your species' requirements, enclosure design, and whether supplementary heating is also in use. Always follow the safety and installation instructions supplied with the mat.

Species Suitability

Appropriate for a wide range of reptiles, amphibians, and invertebrates, though keepers should consider whether their species also requires a more intense basking spot or higher ambient temperatures. For species with elevated heat demands, this mat may work best alongside a dedicated basking lamp or ceramic heat emitter rather than as a standalone heat source.

Thermostat Use Is Essential

This heat mat must be used with a compatible thermostat. Running any heat mat without thermostat control risks overheating, which is dangerous for animals and can shorten the life of the mat itself. A mat thermostat or pulse proportional thermostat is appropriate for this type of product.

A reliable, large-area heat source for keepers who want steady infrared warmth delivered through the floor of the enclosure — used correctly with a thermostat, it forms a solid foundation for any heat-dependent species setup.
