Reptile Systems Heating Strip 20w 60cm x 15cm | Vivarium Heat Mat

The RS Heating Strip is a slim, low-profile under-tank or side-mounted heating mat designed for reptile and exotic pet enclosures. At 60cm x 15cm and 20 watts, it provides a consistent, controlled heat zone across the base or side of a vivarium — without introducing any electrical components inside the enclosure itself.

Even Heat Distribution

The heating ink is distributed across wide bands, ensuring temperature uniformity across the mat's surface. Towards the edges, the temperature gradually decreases rather than dropping sharply, which reduces thermal stress on glass-bottomed enclosures and lowers the risk of cracking over time.

Flexible Installation

The RS Heating Strip can be positioned beneath the tank or mounted on the side of the enclosure, giving you control over how heat enters the vivarium. Side-mounting in particular makes it straightforward to maintain a genuine thermal gradient, with a cooler retreat area available to the animal at all times.

Ultra-Thin and Keeper-Safe

• Ultra-flat, thin profile sits discreetly under or alongside the enclosure
• No electrical wires run inside the tank — all components remain external
• Simple installation with instructions included on the side panel

Keeping all electrical parts outside the enclosure is a sound safety principle for keeper and animal alike, and the RS Heating Strip is built with that in mind from the outset.

Paired with a quality thermostat, the RS Heating Strip gives you reliable, even background heat that supports thermoregulation without compromising your setup or your animals' safety.
