I have never used heat mats, last year I really wanted a leopard gecko so i went to the lps and asked them what would be best for a ten gallon glass enclosure. the clerk said
"this"
and handed me an exo terra heat wave substrate heater.
i said
"is this alright for a leopard gecko, she said
"oh yeah. yeah"
I got home and the only instruction were to basically stick it on the cage. I plugged it in with out peeling off the plastic and it doesn't seem to produce that much heat, i was thinking that i needed some thing else, but the clerk old me o just plug it in.
the heat that it gives off doesn't seem to be enough, could it be defective or could it might still work? does the backing paper keep it from warming up at all?
heres a pic, any help is appreciated
