Heat mat 100-150 mm (2.5W) Terramat - Heating Mat for Ant Farm & Terrarium

Terramat Heat Mat (100x150 mm / 2.5W) – Ideal heat source for your ant colony

A stable and pleasant temperature is one of the most important factors for the rapid and healthy development of an ant colony or insect population. The **Terramat heat mat** is the most well-known and purchased heating mat worldwide for ant farms, terrariums, insectariums, and vivariums. Thanks to its even heat distribution, the nest or substrate is heated gradually and in a very controlled manner.

Faster colony development & natural heat zones

With this compact size of 100 by 150 mm, you can precisely heat a part of the ant farm (suitable for acrylic nests, plaster nests, and sand nests). This is crucial: because the entire nest is not heated, the ants have the freedom to choose between a warmer or cooler spot. The brood (eggs, larvae, and pupae) develops significantly faster in a warm place, ensuring strong growth for your colony!

Safe, durable & ready to use immediately

The Terramat heat mat is made of a strong, durable, and UV-resistant outer wall that distributes heat evenly over the entire surface. The mat requires no preheating and works directly on mains power thanks to the molded plug. Furthermore, the mat complies with the strictest European safety standards (EN60335-1 / EN60335-2-96, Class II IPX4).

Suitable for breeding and caring for:

• Ant colonies (acrylic nests, plaster nests, sand nests, and 3D nests)
• Stick insects and leaf insects (also ideal for hatching eggs in a breeding cage)
• Praying mantises
• Other small insects, reptiles, and arthropods

Important usage tips:

• Placement with ant farms: Always heat a maximum of 30% to 50% of the nest area, so that ants can always move to a cooler zone.
• Caution with test tubes: Never place a heat mat directly under a founding tube/test tube with a water reservoir. This can lead to condensation and overheating.
• Temperature control: In most cases, the mat can be used directly. Do you want to precisely control the temperature? The mat can be perfectly combined with dimmers, rod thermostats, or digital thermostat controllers.
