hello, i have a vision (36 inch) i need to heat. are the zoomed type uth's ok for visions? the label says they are not supposed to be used on plastic.
the cage is in a basement room just for my snakes, independently heated with a room temp of about 75 degrees.
I've got both Visions and Neo's and I wouldn't recommend the
Zoo Med pads. They have adhesive and the ones I've had tended
to get too hot.
Cobra mats are better. You 'CAN' use them but if you peel the
the adhesive back and stick it to the cage it is basically
permanently stuck. Cleaning the cages becomes a problem as the
pad can't get wet. The Cobra mats don't have adhesive, you have
to tape them and they can be moved and removed...
I have a ton of Visions and heat them all with the Exoterra Heatwave pads. Thin, safe, nice price, and very well made-never heard of one burning out. They slide nicely in between the ribs on the outside bottom of the Visions. The way I attach them is to simply leave the adhesive backing on and attach with aluminum foil tape along the pad's edges. That way you can easily remove the pad for repositioning or use on another cage. I use a rheostat on all of mine. Bill.
