Awesome for Warming Leopard Gecko!
Great medium-sized heat mat for my enclosure! Heats up nicely with a temperature regulator and sticks well. For those new to heat mats and might want one:* You MUST have a temperature regulator. If you don't, heat mats will either get too hot or not warm enough, possibly harming your animal. Jump Start is great for single mats, but if you don't like the brand, heat mat thermostat should pull up different brands.* You also MUST let the mat breathe. As you can see, I have my entire enclosure elevated with wooden blocks, otherwise the heat mat might get too hot and burn a hole in either the table or enclosure. A wire frame or table with an exposed opening could work too, but I just prefer elevating mine.* It says on the instructions that this only works for glass, but I can confirm that PVC that's 1/2 inch thick works too. No deterioration has happened or melting. You just may need to set the heat mat higher than you would normally for enough heat to transfer through. Mine's got about a 10 F degree difference, but PVC can withstand 120 F (I believe) without problems.

Works great
This is working great on my hermits tank

Works great, great adhesion!
It has worked fantastic for my corn snake! Keeps it a great temperature for him while he is still little. It would be good strictly as a warm basking spot for a ball python but it isn’t good for much else with bigger snakes like my python. The adhesive has been fantastic. It’s been stuck on the back of his tank for over a month now with zero issues.

great for supplemental heat
works perfect to warm the glass for a hermit crab tank. Note it is not enough to heat a large tank (55gallon) alone, but great to prevent temperature fluctuations.

I love this heating mat!
As with any heating pad you need to use a thermostat so you don't burn your reptile friend. This has worked great for me and keeps a consistently hot temperature way better than the name brand mats. I use it under a ten gallon tank with a vivosun thermostat, and it keeps the hotspot in my small ball pythons habitat at a consistent 90F. I've had it for a few months now and it's still going on strong

Works for added warmth
This pad works well to add warmth to a turtle habitat that is a glass aquarium about 15 inches by 32 inches. It raised the overall temperature about 5 degrees F. I did already have a similar pad on the other end. I do not put them under that tank so it is easier for the turtle to get to a cooler area if it wants. The downside of that is that the heat-pad(s) necessarily block an area of the side so it is no longer clear to see through. This pad is just on or off - there is no thermostat - so might not be suitable for some animals, some uses. Overall, it does just what I wanted it to.

Heating pad makes hissing cockroaches happy
I acquired some Madagascar hissing cockroaches a few months back. They had been quite shy and lethargic in our basement placement. This heating pad did the trick.Easy to use: I stuck it on the underside of the glass fish tank, plugged it in, and within a few minutes the hissing cockroaches were warm and more active.One thing I recommend is a thermometer for your animal habitat. Even though there’s a dial to help manage the temperature, there’s no way for the manufacturer to tell what the temperature will be like for the animals with a layer of glass and bedding/substrate material in between so everyone’s setting will depend on your specific set up. But once it’s where you need it, it’s set it and forget it!Recommended!

Got all bubbly, so wouldn't stick properly
Poor adhesion but it does get to 110 degrees. I used this one on the side of my 45 gallon tank for a ball python and I leave it at 110 degrees. It's the only way I can get the tank to 80 degrees and 50% relative humidity in Utah. I use another one on the bottom of the tank but I set that one to 90 degrees so my snake doesn't get cooked. This was literally the only heating pad I could get for the size I needed, everything else was either too long or not wide enough.

Garbage
Quit working after 2 weeks. Stuck to the tank so well I can't peel it off though.
