ProRep Cloth Element Adhesive Heat Mat

The ProRep Cloth Element Adhesive Heat Mat is a wall- or ceiling-mounted vivarium heater designed for reptiles, amphibians, and invertebrates. Available in four sizes to suit enclosures of different scales, the adhesive backing allows the mat to be fixed directly inside the enclosure — freeing up floor space and opening up more flexible heating configurations.

How It Heats

These mats emit ultra-long wavelength infrared heat, which is absorbed directly by the animal and the surrounding cage furnishings rather than simply warming the air. This closely mirrors the way solar radiation heats basking animals and substrate in the wild, allowing your animals to thermoregulate effectively even where ambient air temperature remains relatively low.

Mounting and Installation

The adhesive backing is purpose-designed for interior mounting on the wall or ceiling of a vivarium or terrarium. This makes them particularly useful for arboreal species or setups where floor-mounted heating isn't practical. As with any reptile heater, installation must be carried out in accordance with the safety instructions supplied with the product.

Thermostat Use — Essential

A thermostat must always be used with this heat mat. Running any reptile heater without temperature control is a welfare and safety risk — a thermostat ensures your animals have access to a consistent, controlled heat source without the risk of overheating.

Construction and Sizing

• Cloth heating element construction throughout the range
• Manufactured in the UK to high safety standards
• Available in four sizes — choose your variant from the options above to match your enclosure dimensions and heating requirements
• Supplementary heating may be needed for species requiring intense localised heat or a defined basking spot

Choosing the right size comes down to your enclosure dimensions and the thermal requirements of the species you keep. If you need guidance on which size suits your setup, the Viperia team are happy to help.
