The heat mat should always be sized correctly and positioned on the terrarium so the animal has the option to cool down to prevent over-heating.Always place water dishes away from the area where the heat mat is installed to prevent water from spilling or spraying water on glass where the heat mat is attached.Depending on the reptile species and terrarium size, and additional heat source such as a basking spot bulb may be required. Using a Zilla incandescent or halogen bulb together with Zilla Tropical 25 or Dessert 50 UVB fluorescent bulbs will ensure that the reptile is receiving the proper light and heat required for essential biological functions.Please check with a sales associate for additional help selecting the proper environment and care for your particular species.
