Should be finished building my viv mid week and i was wondering about the heat mat. Do I stick it down with anything or do you just place them in then cover them with ya substrate?

Hi mick i tape the edges down on my mat,so the corn cant get under it,just overlap the tape a few times to make sure its really stuck down onto the viv.
Hope this helps.

Mick, imo i wouldn`t use tape. I posted a thread last week about a hide box that had glue in it and my Tynan got stuck to it, Wasn`t nice seeing him trying to get off. Ripped his skin off. I wouldn`t use anything in a viv that has a possibilty of coming unstuck and the snake getting stuck to it. Just something to think about.

HI just make sure you only put the tape on the very edge of the mat,the clear bit and not the main black bit.

I have heard people putting ceramic tiles on the mat to stop the snake getting under it.
