Vivexotic Glass Heat Mat Holder

The VE Glass Heat Mat Holder is designed specifically for keepers who use heat mats in wooden vivariums — making an otherwise tricky setup safer and more straightforward. If you've ever worried about heat build-up beneath a mat sitting flush against a melamine board, this is the accessory that addresses it directly.

Why It Exists

Heat mats used directly against wooden vivarium floors can cause thermal blocking — heat trapped with nowhere to go, which risks damage to the mat, the vivarium, and potentially your animals. The VE Glass Heat Mat Holder lifts and isolates the mat correctly, allowing air to circulate across its surface and dissipate excess heat safely.

How It Works

A layer of BS safety glass sits between the heat mat and the vivarium floor, creating the airflow gap needed to prevent overheating. This also produces a more consistent heat spread across the basking area, reducing hot spots that can occur with direct contact installation.

Protection and Build

• BS safety glass construction for reliable, durable use
• Shields the heat mat from water spillage and animal interference
• Promotes even heat distribution across the substrate surface
• Eliminates hot spots caused by direct mat-to-board contact
• Approximate dimensions: 30 x 30 x 2cm

A straightforward addition to any wooden vivarium setup, the VE Glass Heat Mat Holder gives you confidence that your heating is working safely and efficiently — without compromising on the welfare of the animals in your care.
