Reptile Systems Heating Mat

The Reptile Systems Heating Mat is a low-profile under-tank or side-mounted heat source designed for terrariums and vivariums of all sizes. Available in a range of sizes and wattages to suit everything from small invertebrate setups to larger reptile enclosures, this is a straightforward, reliable heating solution for keepers who want electrical components kept outside the enclosure entirely.

Designed to Protect Your Enclosure

The heating ink is distributed across the mat in a way that produces a gradual temperature reduction towards the edges, rather than a sharp heat drop-off. This reduces the thermal stress placed on glass-bottomed enclosures and minimises the risk of cracking — a genuine concern with poorly designed heat mats.

Even, Consistent Heat Output

Wide heating bands across the mat surface ensure temperature uniformity throughout the heated zone. This consistent spread means your animal benefits from a reliable warm area without unpredictable hot spots that can cause stress or injury.

Thermal Gradient Without Compromise

Because the mat is installed underneath or on the side of the enclosure rather than inside it, animals can move freely between warmer and cooler areas of the vivarium. This makes it straightforward to maintain a proper thermal gradient — an essential requirement for the health and thermoregulation of most reptile and invertebrate species.

Safe Installation, Inside and Out

The mat is ultra-flat and thin, sitting flush under or against the enclosure without raising it awkwardly. There are no electrical wires running within the heating surface itself, reducing risk for both the keeper and the animals. All electrical components remain outside the tank at all times.

Select the size that matches your enclosure footprint from the options on this page. Pairing with a quality thermostat is strongly recommended to maintain accurate temperatures and extend the life of the mat.
