Exo terra heat mat install

J Teezy · March 16th, 2012

I got an exo terra heat mat. I'm putting it on the outside of the glass on the side of the tank. My question is do use the little spacers they include or just stick the mat completely to the glass?

Honestly I have a heat wave rainforest heat mat that I put on the side of my terrarium. I actually just taped it because it didnt stick at all. I peeled the liner off and it wasnt sticky at all so I tossed a few peices of clear tape on the edges and it sits in their perfect.

JT you will just stick it on the side of the tank. The spacers are to place under a tank so its not sitting on the cord if placed on the bottom of the tank.

ya sorry I didnt see you ask about the spacers they are to let the air flow when its on the bottom of the tank your not putting it on the bottom so they are not used.
