Reptile Systems Heating Mat 24W 28x41cm | Reptile Vivarium Heat Mat

The RS Heating Mat 24W is a slim, under-tank heating mat designed for reptile and exotic pet enclosures. At 28x41cm and rated at 24 watts, it suits a range of vivarium sizes where a reliable, low-profile heat source is needed beneath or to the side of the enclosure. It keeps all electrical components outside the tank entirely, which is the right approach for animal safety.

Controlled Heat Distribution

The heating ink is distributed across wide heating bands, which ensures an even temperature across the mat surface. Towards the edges, the temperature gradually reduces — this is a deliberate design choice that significantly lowers the risk of thermal stress on glass tank bases, reducing the chance of cracking over time.

Thermal Gradient by Design

Because the RS Heating Mat 24W is installed beneath or to the side of the enclosure rather than inside it, your animals retain access to a cooler area within their habitat. This matters for thermoregulation — reptiles need to move between warm and cool zones, and a mat that covers only part of the floor supports that behaviour naturally.

Installation and Safety

• Ultra-flat and thin profile — fits beneath tanks without raising them significantly
• No electrical wiring inside the enclosure at any point
• Straightforward installation — full instructions provided on the side panel
• Suitable for placement under or on the side of compatible enclosures

For any keeper who wants a clean, safe heating setup with no components inside the vivarium, the RS Heating Mat 24W delivers a reliable thermal solution that respects both the animal's needs and the integrity of the enclosure.
