VIVOSUN Reptile Heating Pad 8x12 Inch with Thermostat Combo Under Tank Terrarium Heating Mat Waterproof for Turtles, Lizards, Frogs, and Other Reptiles

Super simple and easy to set up. Practically the only one I could find with the thermostat included. Very reasonable on the pricing

Ive only been using this for about 24 hrs out of the box. But, so far, Im pleased with the products construction and function. The red LED control display is bright and sharp. I followed the instructions supplied with the controller and I had my temperature set point set up in just seconds. My seed starting table is in a basement area thats around 60 degrees ambient. With an 85 deg. set point, the mat has brought my soil temperature up to around 80F, which is close to where I wanted it to be. Its probably capable of getting the soil much hotter, but I have had no need to go higher. I dont believe the product description mentions it, but the controller display is also a thermometer, that shows actual soil temp. Not sure how accurate it is, but most seed starting temps arent all that precision. If exact soil temp is a concern, you might want to invest in a precision dedicated soil thermometer to verify. Also the description says the mat accommodate one seed flat? My 20x20 will actually accommodate two standard flats, which is why I bought this one instead of one of the small 20x10 mats that are offered on Amazon.

caught on fire within ten minutes. burned my desk. could have killed my gecko

I am not super thrilled with this product and I’m worried about the care of my animal because of it. The temperature output is inconsistent and is not reaching the higher temperatures I’m after. I have the thermostat set to 35. The thermostat reading will fluctuate between 32 to 35 throughout the day. What is extra frustrating is that when I check the surface temp of the heat pad with my temp gun, it’s saying only 26-28. I am not confident in the over performance of this product.

No longer stays hot, it is 14 degrees below the set temp after only 6 months. Crappy.

so far so good better than others ive tried

I bought this to use for my cloner, very quality product! The 3M tape stuck it right to the bottom. The cord is perfect because it doesn’t have a ground and take up a lot of space on my power strip, 6’ is also a pretty decent length for it. This was a strong buy for me.

Great product works well under my terrarium, great price and does exactly as described, I paired this with the vivosun thermostat and for the price I have no complaints. I installed this 6 days ago, so far no issues with adhesion. I read the previous reviews and made sure to prepare the surface before attempting to attach. I did this by using a wet wipe you could also use dish soap on a paper towel, then I dried the surface fully with a paper towel, then used some isopropyl alcohol on a lint free cloth and let it air dry. I then applied the heat mat to the bottom of the terrarium, made sure all air bubbles were removed and it is staying put perfectly.

Not too cold not too hot just right for my snakes.

It’s works great. My Boa enjoys it.
