ProRep Cloth Element Heat Mat

The ProRep Cloth Element Heat Mat is a low-profile heating solution designed for use with reptiles, amphibians, and invertebrates. Available in a range of sizes to suit enclosures of different scales, this heat mat family provides a reliable and consistent heat source for a wide variety of setups.

How It Works

These mats emit ultra long wavelength infrared heat that is absorbed directly by the animal and surrounding cage furniture — closely replicating the way solar radiation warms basking animals and substrate in the wild. This method of heat transfer can raise the animal's body temperature without necessarily increasing the overall air temperature of the enclosure, which is particularly useful for species that rely on contact or radiant warmth rather than ambient heat.

Suitable Species and Setups

ProRep Cloth Element Heat Mats are appropriate for reptiles, amphibians, and invertebrates that benefit from supplementary or primary floor-level warmth. Choosing the right size depends on your species' requirements, the dimensions of your vivarium or terrarium, and how the mat will be installed. For species needing intense localised basking spots or significantly elevated temperatures, additional heating equipment may also be required.

Thermostat Use — Essential

A thermostat must always be used with these heat mats. Operating any heat mat without a thermostat risks overheating and poses a genuine welfare and safety risk. Always follow the manufacturer's safety and installation instructions before use.

Choosing the Right Size

This range is available in multiple sizes with corresponding wattages, from compact options suited to small vivaria and supplementary heating, through to larger mats capable of heating more substantial enclosures. Select the size that matches your setup from the variant options above.

A straightforward, well-established heating option from a trusted name in UK reptile supplies — the ProRep Cloth Element Heat Mat gives keepers a dependable foundation for thermal management across a broad range of species and enclosure types.
