Hello,

I would not recommend using any heat rock or heatmat with the Softray liner that you would use with a Reptarium. Actually I would recommend against using that type of a heat source with a Reptarium period. You can derive adequate heat by using a heat lamp outside of the cage. Mount the light to some type of sturdy stand and leave several inches between the light and the screen of the Reptarium. I have three Reptariums and use 125 watt infrared heat bulbs to provide heat. The basking spots can reach upwards of 95 degrees F which is more than adequate for your Plated Lizard. Additionally you can place a large flat rock underneath where the lamp shines down to absorb the heat and provide a good basking site. I have a similar setup for my Plated Lizards and it works quite well. They are not housed in a Reptarium though - I only keep snakes in my Reptariums. Hope this information helps you. Feel free to contact me if you have any other questions.
