I was wondering if any of you could advise about heat mats....they come in so many different watts and i dont know what watt is best!! ive seen low watts such a 7w to 14 and 20+ and theres ones that go under the viv, inside the viv, on the wall or on the floor...with a stat and without(ultratherm??) i really want to get this right!! My cornsnake Geoege is about a 8 months old and has only been with me for just over a week. hes doing great but at the minute his viv is being heated by a heat lamp. this isnt really warming his home up as much as id like. current temp is sitting at 29.7 on the warmer side...any help would be greatly appreciated!
The wattage changes with size. So really you should be looking at the size. What size is your viv? The heat mat should cover 1/3 to 1/2 of the viv's floor space.
