Their long-wave infrared radiation produces natural warmth similar to sunlight, which reptiles absorb efficiently—for species-appropriate living conditions and the well-being of your animals.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUnlike conventional heaters, ULTRATHERM heating films do not primarily heat the air; instead, they warm the objects and living creatures in the vivarium through infrared-C radiation. This long-wave radiation is invisible to the human eye and mimics the way heat is naturally absorbed in the wild. The surface temperature of the heating mats remains moderate, allowing reptiles to sit safely on or underneath them.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhen is the ULTRATHERM Viv Mat the right choice?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis heating film is the ideal solution when you need species-appropriate background heat for your terrarium. The long-wave infrared radiation is ideal for ground-dwelling animals that absorb heat from below, as well as for reptiles that like to bask on warm surfaces.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe ULTRATHERM Viv Mat can be installed underneath the terrarium, on the side walls, or inside it. Its flexible film construction allows for versatile installation options and adapts to various terrarium sizes and shapes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eTechnical features and benefits\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eULTRATHERM heating films use long-wave infrared-C radiation, ensuring even and natural heat distribution. The heat is transferred directly to the objects and animals in the vivarium, resulting in efficient energy use.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe heating films are flat and flexible, allowing them to be installed discreetly underneath or beside the terrarium. The moderate surface temperature prevents burns and allows reptiles to have safe direct contact with the heat source.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eImportant safety notice:\u003c\/strong\u003e ULTRATHERM heating films should always be operated with a suitable thermostat. When operating unattended, the temperature must be limited using a thermostat with a probe positioned in the centre of the heated area. The temperature must not exceed the temperature required by the respective animal species, and must never exceed 60°C.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eAvailable sizes and power levels\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe ULTRATHERM Viv Mat is available in various sizes to accommodate different terrarium dimensions. Choose the appropriate size according to the area to be heated and the heating requirements of your reptiles.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe heating films are designed for the respective size and ensure optimal heat output without overheating. For precise temperature control, we recommend combining them with a digital thermostat.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eRecommendations for optimal heating performance\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor installation under the terrarium, it is important to ensure sufficient heat dissipation. Take into account the height and composition of the substrate on the floor. A substrate layer that is too thick can impair heat transfer, while one that is too thin can lead to overheating.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhen installing the heating film on a wall, position it so that your reptiles can approach or leave the heat source as needed. Always create cooler areas in the terrarium as well, so the animals can regulate their body temperature themselves.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIdeally, the system should be controlled by a thermostat with a temperature sensor, which switches the heating film on and off as needed. This ensures constant temperatures and prevents dangerous overheating.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eApplications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe ULTRATHERM Viv Mat is suitable for various reptiles and amphibians:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul style=\"line-height: 1.8;\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSnakes:\u003c\/strong\u003e Floor heating for pythons, corn snakes, king snakes, and other species\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLizards:\u003c\/strong\u003e Basic heat for bearded dragons, leopard geckos, blue-tongued skinks, and more\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTortoises:\u003c\/strong\u003e Heat source for tortoises and other species\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAmphibians:\u003c\/strong\u003e Temperature control for frogs, salamanders, and newts\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInvertebrates:\u003c\/strong\u003e Heat supply for tarantulas, scorpions, and other terrarium animals\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eInstallation and assembly\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eULTRATHERM heating films can be installed in various ways:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul style=\"line-height: 1.8;\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUnder the terrarium:\u003c\/strong\u003e Traditional floor installation for uniform basic heat\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOn the side wall:\u003c\/strong\u003e External installation for lateral heat zones\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInside the terrarium:\u003c\/strong\u003e Internal installation under the substrate or behind background panels (with suitable insulation)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe connection is made to a 230 V mains supply.
