Admins/mods I have made a separte topic because this isn't really related to my last one. Feel free to remove it.

My 7watt heat mat arrived today. I plugged it in but its taking a while to gain heat?

How long does your heat mats take to reach the specific heat that you want?

For example how long would it take to reach 28oc/29oc?

Should take about half hour to an hour to reach that. How are you measuring the temp?

It probably will be almost there, their environment temperature is lower than our body temp so it wont feel that warm to us
