Surely as long as the mat is big enough for the snake to fit it's full body on, then it's fine.

I use heatstrips for my large rubs and they only cover 1/4 of the base but are plenty big enough for the snakes to lay on.

i use 17x11's in my 3ft vivs and 11x11 in my 2ft vivs.

Chris surely a 7x11in mat in a 3ft viv doesnt even cover a quarter of the floor space??!! Confused.com
a33272 Posted - 08/05/2011 : 22:17:42
no but depends if u can find a bigger mat to fit in the first place
kopite_di Posted - 08/05/2011 : 21:02:07
so you think a bigger mat is pointless ??
a33272 Posted - 08/05/2011 : 16:31:55
The problem with mats an vivs is u will never find a mat that's perfect size that's why it's a warm zone aprox 1/3-1/2. I spent ages trying to work our what mat to use. I could of got an ideal size but that ment using 2 mats side by side which I didn't fancy. The 7-11 in my 3ft is big enough to get a large hide on and have room next to it incase snake fancies curling up in warm end but not in hide so it works for me

is that 7 x 11 inch ?? I was thinking of getting 11 x 11" inmy 2ft viv :/ already have 6 x 11 in my faun I wont bother if that is big enough for new viv :)
Jade.Slash Posted - 08/05/2011 : 15:07:10
Heey. Thanks for that, I'm def going to need a bigger mat then as the one I have is tiny compared to the space it needs to cover :)
a33272 Posted - 08/05/2011 : 14:59:09
You need ya warm area to be 1/3-1/2 depends what size the mat is u got. I use a 7x11 may in my 3ft viv
