Review on Linifar Reptile Heating Pads - Adjustable Terrarium Heater Mat for Various Species (2 Pack, 14W) by Karen Rodriguez

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Hermit crabs are very warm!

This mat shuts off the heat as soon as it is turned on. However, it turns out that the initial heating performance decreases slightly after regular use. I set the device to high temperature and the temperature in the tank quickly rose above the optimum. I lowered the temperature and the carpet was perfect. A few days later (maybe it was a cold snap?) the temperature dropped a bit. I turned the unit back on and it stayed at a constant temperature. Even with diaristic temperature increases, I have not yet had to lower the temperature again. (Not sure if that's good or bad?) Both the temperature and humidity in my tank have been stable for over a month now. The entire 30 gram tank is at the optimum level. I only use one mat as it is more than enough to keep the aquarium warm. Overall I am very happy with this item and would buy again in the future if needed! Note: I bought silicone glue to attach it to the fish tank. side of my tank. However, I chose not to use glue (I don't want to damage my tank) and put a small pad of adhesive between the heater and the wall to hold it above the sand level (outside the tank). causes the glass (at this point) to feel quite warm/hot. Please note this and be careful if it does not fit under the subfloor. The surface of this item will become HOT as intended!
