Best used in glass terrariums, placed just under the unit to heat through the glass and into the substrate to warm it gently, it uses infrared heat that does not produce visible light, and therefore can be left on for 24 hours per day without affecting the sleeping pattern of most reptile species.
As with all heat mats, this should be used on a thermostat to ensure maximum safety to you and your reptile.
When using heat mats on glass/plastic terrariums they should be positioned on the outside of the tank for optimum safety.
