Heat mats
So i recently bought a large wooden vivarium and i have concerns about the heat mat. I know that you shouldn’t put the heat mat inside the vivarium right? But i didn’t want the mat to overheat underneath the vivarium! Ahh what do i dooo?

Radiant heat panel would be best.

Re: Heat mats
I’m thinking of ordering a infrared heat mat to heat up the air, would that be okay for a ball python?

You can get Bob to ship one but it may expensive shipping idk. Im sure you have them in your country.
Make sure its the kind for a reptile because they run at a safer temp than ones for a room or home.

Re: Heat mats
To be fair lots of people use heat mats in wooden vivs over here in the uk .. they just HAVE to be regulated by a thermostat.
I’ve still got a couple running as it happens...I’m ultra cautious so even though they’re completely sealed - I put loads of hot glue over the heat mat connection point just in case any water / liquid comes into contact with it .

Re: Heat mats
OP: You can always use what is called a pig blanket. They are used in wooden containers, and when properly set no issue for thermal burns for small or large constrictors. They are pricey however. RHPs are excellent however.
