Habistat Reptile Heat Strip (Various Sizes)

 

Habistat Heat Strips are manufactured in the same way as mats. 

They are made narrower and are generally used to heat small boxes and the cages used for housing juvenile snakes and some other species.

Heat Strips 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 a very gentle warmth which the animal can sit under or on top of. Used under normal conditions the mats cannot burn the animal. 

The principles of use are the same as those for mats and the same precautions should be exercised. In small enclosures the heat build up can be very quick. 

The temperature should be adequately monitored and controlled with a suitable thermostat.

Available in a variety of sizes.

• Narrower than a standard heat mat
• Can be used to heat small enclosures
• Produces ultra long wavelength infra red heat
• A suitable thermostat must be used
