{"product_id":"reptile-systems-heating-mat","title":"Reptile Systems Heating Mat","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Reptile Systems Heating Mat is a slim, low-profile heat source designed for terrariums and vivariums where reliable, consistent warmth is essential. Available in a range of sizes to suit enclosures of different scales — from compact setups to larger displays — this mat fits neatly beneath or to the side of the enclosure, keeping all electrical components outside the animal's environment entirely.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eIntelligent Heat Distribution\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe heating ink is distributed across wide bands to ensure an even temperature across the mat's surface. Crucially, the design allows for a gradual temperature reduction towards the edges, which significantly reduces the risk of thermal stress on glass bases — a common concern with lesser mats that concentrate heat unevenly.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eInstallation and Safety\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe mat is ultra-flat and thin, sitting flush under or against the side of the enclosure without raising it noticeably. There are no electrical wires running within the heating surface itself, which removes a key risk point and makes the product safer for both the animals and the keeper. Installation is straightforward, with guidance provided on the product packaging.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eThermoregulation for Your Animals\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eBecause the mat is positioned externally — beneath or alongside the enclosure rather than inside it — the animal retains access to a genuine thermal gradient, including a cooler retreat area away from the heat source. This is an important welfare consideration for reptiles that rely on behavioural thermoregulation to manage their body temperature.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eChoosing the Right Size\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis mat is available in multiple sizes across the range, each suited to a different enclosure footprint and heating requirement. Select the appropriate variant for your setup using the size and wattage options above — if you're unsure which suits your enclosure, our team is on hand to advise.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Peregrine","offers":[{"title":"15x15cm 3.5w","offer_id":54176574701905,"sku":"HRM004","price":23.57,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"28x16.5cm 8w","offer_id":54176574734673,"sku":"HRM008","price":25.24,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"28x28cm 16w","offer_id":54176574767441,"sku":"HRM016","price":27.24,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"28x41cm 24w","offer_id":54176574800209,"sku":"HRM024","price":29.66,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"65x28cm 38w","offer_id":54176574832977,"sku":"HRM038","price":39.33,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/viperia.co.uk\/products\/reptile-systems-heating-mat","provider":"Viperia UK","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
