Zilla Terrarium Heat Mat for Reptiles, Black, Mini, 1-5 Gallon, 4 Watt

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We used this as a backup when the bulb needed replacement on our tank briefly. It was perfect. We plan to also use it in the winter bc my son's room gets cold. Keeps our Russian tortoise Ivan happy.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Zilla Heat Mat is a reliable and easy-to-use heating solution for reptile and amphibian enclosures. It delivers consistent, gentle warmth that helps regulate your pet's environment—especially important for species that rely on belly heat for digestion and comfort. Installation is simple: the adhesive backing sticks securely to the underside of glass terrariums, and it lays flat without any bubbles or peeling. The cord is long enough to reach most outlets comfortably, and it pairs well with thermostats and heat controllers for added safety. One of the best things about Zilla heat mats is how evenly the heat is distributed, avoiding hot spots and helping maintain a stable temperature. It's also completely silent and doesn't take up any space inside the tank, making it ideal for low-profile or naturalistic setups. After extended use, the mat stays reliable without warping or losing power, and it doesn't overheat when used with proper regulation. For small to medium enclosures—whether for geckos, snakes, or frogs—it's an affordable and effective heating option. Overall, Zilla Heat Mats offer a safe, quiet, and energy-efficient way to provide your reptile with the warmth they need. Just be sure to use it with a thermostat for the best long-term performance and peace of mind.
