We were gifted a ball python, and purchase this to help keep his temperature up we've had zero issues with this his tank has always held a steady temperature thanks to this device. He's going to need to be sized up soon to a bigger tank and we will be purchasing another one maybe two.

Don’t buy! Unfortunately the heat matt lasted less then a couple of months. Thermostat is not accurate and didn’t work from day 1. The thermostat reads a 20 degrees difference then the matt actually is.

I got this for my 50 inch ball python's terrarium. It already has 2 stick on heating pads and I wanted to add a third with thermostat to use primarily at night. This Vivosun is so easy to use and very consistent in terms of heat.You plug it in, put the probe into the terrarium subtrate, put the heating pad under the bottom glass and then set the temperature. I found if you set a temperature at 85 degrees, it will consistently heat around 79-81 degrees. Very good.

I replaced an older iPower heat mat with the VivoSun heat mat with thermostat. I've been running it on a timer (~7a-7p daily) for my orchid terrarium. The iPower eat mat got hot and heated the inside of the terrarium from an overnight low of ~60° up to may low to mid 70's. This Vivosun barely even gets warm to the touch. I initially set it up with the thermostat, setting it for 80°. Barely got to 68. I then plugged the mat directly into the wall outlet, by passing the thermostat controller. Still nothing. Judging by everyone's high ratings, I clearly got a dud.

Works as advertised. Using as a warmer for newborn squirrels. Taped the temp probe to the bottom inside of the box and it does a fantastic job. Pad warms only where contact is made. Does not give off convective heat.

Worked great for about a month-ish with only a 2° variation which is pretty good at this price. Then as I went to change the setting as I do every morning to day/night cycle my snake's enclosure, the LCD failed. It thankfully still works, but I can't read the display so I'm forced to check it with my laser thermometer after an hour or so. The design isn't well thought out at it uses membrane type buttons and they just put a flexible cover over top of the entire unit which pushes against the screen. I don't push it very hard but due to the design it's built in a way that almost guarantees it will fail if you have to change the settings daily. If you plan on using this one I highly suggest a seperate thermostat controller so you don't have to touch the thermostat itself. More cables and space needed to do so but if temperatures need changed at any point its absolutely necessary with this thermostat.Also the heat pad adheres good and after the first 5 hours it will stay at the temp you want very well. It has a hard time adhering to the spot that you put the temp probe. I had to add tape to the spot with the probe as it fell of the first day. If you have a setup where you don't need to probe directly on the mat this won't be a problem for you. I have a glass enclosure so it is required, and needs tape to hold half the mat up.

Used for my cuttings, sped up my rooting. Paired it with the vivosun thermostat and worked like a charm. I DO NOT recommend this product for anyone who needs it for an aquarium or reptile enclosure. The 3m adhesive is very lacklustre to say the least. When I peeled off the 3M paper much of the adhesive came with it. This worked out better for the purpose I needed it for but for pets take caution

I've only been using this for about 24 hrs out of the box. But, so far, I'm pleased with the products' construction and function. The red LED control display is bright and sharp. I followed the instructions supplied with the controller and I had my temperature set point set up in just seconds. My seed starting table is in a basement area that's around 60 degrees ambient. With an 85 deg. set point, the mat has brought my soil temperature up to around 80F, which is close to where I wanted it to be. It's probably capable of getting the soil much hotter, but I have had no need to go higher. I don't believe the product description mentions it, but the controller display is also a thermometer, that shows actual soil temp. Not sure how accurate it is, but most seed starting temps aren't all that precision. If exact soil temp is a concern, you might want to invest in a precision dedicated soil thermometer to verify. Also the description says the mat accommodate one seed flat? My 20"x20" will actually accommodate two standard flats, which is why I bought this one instead of one of the small 20"x10" mats that are offered on Amazon.

This mat works exactly as described. It heats up quick and the price was cheaper than some other ones that I looked at. Sticks well, and works best with a temperature controller. It is a little small but there its sized accordingly. There is also a bigger one that you can order I think. But if this fits your space though, pick it up because it’s a good mat.

I didn't use the adhesion feature because I was not actually using it for reptiles, but for a homemade incubator for my baby sugar glider joeys that had been rejected by their mom. I was concerned if it could get warm enough to go through the thick fabric AND fleece on bottom of their little mini world. Well, it gets VERY hot (so hot that if it touched their skin I am sure it would leave a burn) but having it underneath their enclosure and with fleece on top it has been absolutely perfect. It's been running almost 100% continually for 2 months now and so far still going perfect. I will definitely buy from this company/brand again when and if I need another larger one in the future.
