With a stat to keep a constant(ish) temperature, it should be fine.
My tanks hover between 27 and 30 celcius, never to cold, but sometimes a tadge warm. |

| Our stat's rubbish, it fluctuates between 25 and 35 if we don't keep an eye on it, even with adjusting every hour it still has two or three degrees fluctuation. I don't know whether it's the brand or what but it's worth remembering that even a stat doesn't guarentee a constant temp. I think the 11 by 11 will definately be warm enough though. |

| I'd have gone for the 6"x11" mat to allow for the room's ambient temperature, especially when you've got your central heating on. |

i've just made cecil a 15"x24" viv and just placed his 6x11 mat in on a thermostat.
its keeping the viv at a lovely 28-31 constant.
will I have to upgrade his mat as he gets bigger though? |
