Zilla Terrarium Heat Mats Black Small, 10-20 Gallon, 8 Watt

Zoomed is normally my go-to for reptile products, but the Zilla heat mats are fantastic. Slow but reliable, steady heat. Definitely worth investing in a zoomed thermostat as well, though.

The adhesive didnt work at all. I put it on the side of the tank to keep my hermits warm, but it just kept falling off. I had to tape it to the side of the tank.

Works great to keep gecko at right temp in humid hide but adhesive doesnt work well fell off tank in about 2 months, have blocks under it now to hold in place. Attempted to use tape to secure but is to warm and also fell off .

excellent seller .. will recommend to buyers Venezuela.

It works really, however...... Someone needs to figure out how to get these things to stick to the underside of the tank better. I have been using these things for my reptiles for years. The problem I have is that I attach it then check back in a few days and it is dangling there. So I came up with a plan. If you are like me and have the wooden stands that you buy in the pet store that matches your aquarium size and it has these large cutouts between the bottom of the tank and the top of the stand. That is where the heat pad will just fall through because of the heat warming the glue and the weight of the cord pulling down on it. I have some leftover 12 x 12 ceramic tiles. I just cut it down to about 8 inches on one side and slid it under the tank, but on top of the stand with the heating pad above the tile. It works great. You could probably use something else. I just figured the heat wouldnt effect the ceramic tile. This way it pushes the pad right up on the tank and also sends the heat up through the tank rather than just warming the storage area down below.

Im giving this a neutral review simply because I didnt actually use the product it wasnt the best size for my tank dimensions wise.

OK

This heat pad keeps my Hedgehogs enclosure warm all day and night! I love it!

Off gassing

Been working great to help heat my hermit crab tank. As ive upgraded to larger tank with an addition (currently a 55 gallon with a 20 gallon on top upside down for extra climbing space) I have had to add a couple more small heaters to ensure the right temperature for my hermits.
