Heating (up) a small exo terra for my new pacman

[foofighter]

I am in the UK as well and use exoterra tanks I ve got a few pacs all different species. find that with the 30x30x30 I need a mat that covers the entire side of the tank then I ovehat with some foil insulation from b&q that. you also have to cover 3/4 of the meshing on the top with something I use polycarbonate twin wall also from b&q. this kees the temps where they need to be. hope that helps.

how do you actually keep your heat mat stuck to the side? Mine keeps coming off, it's an inch or so too big (but the other one's too small!!) I've tried celotape and masking tape both of them peel off during the night I'm guessing as it peels off?

The heat may I be got is about 10 mm smaller it's a Komodo 14 w I think you get about 5 mm a ll the way round. The best tape I ve found is electrical insulation tape. If the mats to big I wouldn't know how to stick it I guess it would keep coming off. I found when mine were that small they didn't like that size tank much. I used the nano cube for them. Got two at the moment with them in temps all fine. It's experimenting really ceramic/infra red heaters are what I want to use really with heat mats for back up.
