I didn't know that you could buy a combination with the mat wired directly into the Stat.
I have only come across the Mats and Stats as seperate items before, has anyone else come across these?
I only ask as I just bought one, second hand but clearly never used, it came with a viv set up apparently and they didn't need it.
Bargain at a tenner, can always cut the mat off and wire a socket thingy onto it.  |

No definately not wired by previous owner, there is an official Habistat label quoting it as a 'Habistat Mat Stat & Vivarium Heat Mat Combination' stuck to the Mat.

I agree with you, unless of course using under a glass viv. 
I had always intended on cutting mat off half way down cable length, adding a plug to Mat and a socket to Stat, hey presto for £10 + the cost of a plug and socket (under £2) I have a brand new 11"x11" Heat mat and 100w Mat Stat.
They are defo brand new never been used, I now have a spare Stat and Mat. |

I've seen heatmats with dimmers, you set the flow if you like from like cool to hot but they don't monitor temps as they have no probe, that was the closest thing I've seen.
I'm kinda interested to in what it looks like... |

Ok have taken some pics
Last pic just shows it is a normal Mat Stat, middle pic shows there is no socket, just a mat, stat and probe.
First pic shows the label on the Mat
Hope this helps, I have never seen before, but the chap I bought it off said he used to work in Pets at Home, and they used them there!
This one came with a set up he bought, but he didn't need it so sold it to me for £10 |

Have just checked, the stickers are stuck on, not under the laminate.
I have another 11"x11" Habistat Mat, just checked that and the sticker is under laminate, but all numbers on it are the same, just doesn't have the additional label, it also looks identical in every way.
Maybe it is made for Viv complete set ups only. |

| id guess the same, i think who ever puts the set up together that the person originally got are the ones that re wire the mat to the stat. cant see it being done by habistat as would mean taking it apart to change the mat which in theory would void the warranty |

| Maybe some kind of super duper new one and they haven't updated their site and not many people are stocking? Suppose if shops have them it maens there are less cables and stuff to hide away. Are were cables go into the stat like that on other mat stats? My pulses have like thick rings around where the cables go into the stat. |

| Its a bodge job. I'd be a bit worried about the wiring that has gone on in there if I was you. Someone somewhere has bought in some mat-stats and heat mats and printed a sales label for themselves and stuck it on slightly wonky. |

| Habistat dont do anything like that, is certainly not on their website. I really would expect something like that would be on their site. The other issue you will have is if the mat gets bust you need a new mat and stat, likewise if the stat busts. |

| bodge is abit strong. it could of been done by a qualified engineer. an id guess its only 2 wires inside so wouldnt be rock science to anyone with a bit of diy knowledge. we dont know where its from, who ever done it may offer there own full warranty for it if it becomes faulty etc due to what what they have done. |

| Either way... a tenner is good value! Won't go any harm provided you monitor temps anyways! |

Just to let people know it is a ligite item produced by Eurorep (Habistat).
Have just got off the phone to them, it is produced for Exo Terra to sell with complete set ups for corn snakes or leopard geckos to be sold in Pets at Home.
My mind is now setled to the fact it is NOT a bodge job and there will be no problem with using this item.
As it is produced for Exo Terra/Pets at Home it is not on the Habistat website.
Hope this answers every ones doubts regards this item, and a big thankyou for you lot in making me check with the manufacturer - had a really useful conversation with them |
