LP heatmats - EU High Quality elements.
They are heating mats entirely produced in Europe under the LP Racks brand, a well-known brand in professional terrariums. They are built with the help of the best materials, tested and approved in accordance with European legislation and the CE mark.
Heating mats emit infrared heat with broad wavelengths. These tend to heat the terrarium and the accessories contained in it rather than dispersing into the air, reproducing the effect of the sun and giving the hosted animals the opportunity to warm up in a very similar way to a natural environment.
Although in some cases they could be used without thermostats, we always recommend using a thermostat to ensure you have a constant and controlled temperature. For the best possible control, we recommend using a Pulse thermostat.
The heating mats are particularly suitable for the housing of those animals that have a twilight/nocturnal nature and which in nature during the day warm themselves through the walls and floors of the dens in which they are hidden waiting for the sunset. For very large terrariums, it may be useful to add an additional heater, such as a ceramic lamp or a radiant panel.
They can also be used to temper the cold areas of very large terrariums or those that must maintain a high climate (for example for desert animals or those belonging to very hot areas), while using other heat sources such as bright spot lamps.
The mats can be used under the terrariums/boxes to warm the cases from below or be fixed to the walls (good quality adhesive tape can be used to attach the "light" portions of the mat to the terrarium), for arboreal animals .
When they are used inside terrariums, it is a good idea to design a double bottom to isolate them from direct contact with the animal and thus prevent the carpet from being wet by excrement.
