Hi guys
Just a quickie i want to replace Artemis heat mat to a larger one to get better coverage the current one doesnt quite cover a third of the base of the viv
Not that she ever uses the warm end since i put the branchs in she spends 90 percent of her time imitating a tree python coiled up on the top of the branch i thought Corns were supposed to be primarily ground dwellers ?
Anyway my question is the mat im looking at comes in a 7 or 20 watts model the mats im using atm are all 7 watts would it be better to use the 20 watts model on the larger mat or is there no real difference ?
Thanks in advance |

Wattage usually only increase with size. What size viv are you using?
EDIT:
20W = 17x11in
7w = 6x11in
