Herp Shop Aussie Sun Heat Mats
Technologically superior heating for your reptiles at an affordable price.

Aussie Sun Heat Mats have been made with high end state-of-the-art components throughout, include thermal overload protection and quality components ensure an even temperature evenly distributed over the whole heat mat area.

Aussie Sun Heat Mats have a 2.5mm thick water proof heavy duty plastic shield. This plastic shield is highly durable, water and rot resistant.

Aussie Sun Heat Mats are complete with a 2 meter power cord and do not need to be installed by an electrician.

Aussie Sun Heat Mats can be used with most probe thermostats and dimmers including the Herp Shop's best selling Habistat range.

The advanced Aussie Sun Heat Mats thermal overload protection will guard against accidents and failures but we still recommend using them in conjunction with a probe thermostat.

Reptile Radiators

To provide a light free basking hotspot
Provide Background heat for a medium to large enclosure
Can also be used to heat a kennel, cattery or bird brooder
Can be used in conjunction with the Habistat range of thermostats
Compact size: 310mm x 210mm x 33mm

Reptile Radiators are new higher powered heaters from Habistat. They replace the radiant heat panels and while they maintain the advantages of the old panels, substantial technical improvements have been added. Purpose designed as an reptile enclosure heater, the Habistat Reptile Radiator will not harm animals, people or fittings if mounted properly. It is specifically designed to direct most of its heat out through the lower, radiating face. Protective insulation minimises the heating of the upper, mounting site. At the same time, even the hottest surface, that which heats the cage, is not so hot that it will instantly burn animals or humans.**

Carbon element heater construction gives incredible reliability. This hot new heater creates an optimal heat density - 75 watts of heat spread over 650 cm3. Most of the heat generated is directed out from the lower surface and the mounting side tends to run at significantly cooler temperatures. It is therefore safer and very economical to run.

**To prevent overheating it is recomended that Reptile Radiators always be used in conjunction with a thermostat.

Heat Mats

Heat Mats produce ultra long wavelength infra red heat. This wavelength is invisible to the human eye and tends to heat furnishings in the cage rather than the air. This action of heating is very similar to the sun and it has the ability to heat anything that it strikes but with the air temperature remaining much lower. Reptiles absorb this at in a manner very similar to basking in a natural environment. Heat mats do get warm but provide very gentle warmth which the animal can sit under or on top of. Used under normal conditions the mats cannot burn the animal.

It should be noted that heat mats give a gentle background heat. If you are keeping animals that requires higher temperatures, then you may require additional supplemental heating. Many diurnal or day active species of lizard require basking spots of rather high localised heat. Additional heat sources should then be provided for these species. Heat mats are excellent primary heaters for most applications requiring night time heating, as they emit no visible light and are the most widely used heater for this purpose.

For many species of snake and for most invertebrate heating. Heat mats are excellent as the sole heat sources. If in doubt please seek expert advice with regard to the animal's specific requirements.

REPTICARE ROCK HEATERS

A rock heater has two basic functions:
1. To facilitate digestion and
2. To provide "safety" or additional heat when temperatures are unusually low.
A rock heater should never be the sole source of heat unless the ambient air temperatures in your enclosure are sufficient for your reptile.
