Heat Mats & Strips

Reptile Heat Mats & Heat Strips

Heat mats and heat strips provide gentle, background warmth that is ideal for many nocturnal and ground-dwelling reptiles. Placed under or on the side of the enclosure, they create a warm zone that allows the animal to rest and digest without producing intense light or basking-spot temperatures.

These heaters are best used to support an overall thermal gradient rather than as the sole heat source. For many species they work effectively alongside overhead basking lamps or ceramic heaters, helping to maintain stable night-time temperatures and reduce heat loss through the base of the enclosure.

Always use a suitable thermostat to control your heat mat or strip, prevent overheating, and protect both your animal and enclosure. Browse our range of reliable reptile heat mats and heat strips below to find the right size and output for your setup.
