HabiStat Mat Stat Thermostat – White

The HabiStat Mat Stat is one of our top-selling thermostats, offering excellent control over the temperature of heat mats and other low-powered heaters, with a maximum load capacity of 300 watts.

As an on/off thermostat, it efficiently powers the heater at full capacity until the desired temperature is reached. Once the set temperature is achieved, the thermostat switches off the heater until the temperature drops below the desired value, maintaining a consistent and comfortable environment for your reptiles. The thermostat features convenient power and heat indicators that shine when switched on.

The Mat Stats are available in both black and white models and designed for temperature control within the range of 16 – 34°C.

Please be aware that the HabiStat Mat Stat Thermostat is not suitable for controlling light bulbs. The constant on/off cycling of light bulbs could distress your animals and lead to frequent lamp failures, potentially affecting the thermostat’s performance. For light-emitting heat sources, we recommend using HabiStat Dimming Thermostats.

HabiStat Mat Stat Thermostats come with a 5-year manufacturers guarantee, providing you peace of mind and confidence in its performance.

HabiStat Heat Mat – 12 watts

Habistat reptile heat mats produce ultra long wavelength infra red heat and are a proven, tried and tested technology for providing heat to reptiles in many different applications.

Habistat heat mats are a carbon impregnated cloth and are made in the UK.

The infra red wavelength is invisible to the human eye and heats objects in the vivarium rather than the air.

The action of heating is very similar to the sun and it has the ability to heat anything that it strikes, including animals, but with the surrounding air temperature being much lower.

Reptiles absorb this heat in a manner very similar to basking in a natural environment.  Heat mats are commonly used to provide heat for many species of snake, lizards and invertebrates.

Heat mats provide a warmth which the animals can sit under or on top of.

Heat mats should always be controlled by a thermostats.

All heaters can be potentially hazardous if misused or incorrect installed.  Do not take any risks with the lives of your animals.  Install heat mats safely and in conjunction with a quality thermostat.
