Re: UTH & Heat Probes

I was having the same question - I ended up buying clear Gorilla Tape, which according to the packaging can withstand heat up to 120 degrees F. I went around all the edges of the heat mat, seems okay so far!

Not in the Viv I hope? Heat mats in vivs are a fire hazard due to thermal blocking and any form of sticky tape inside the Viv is an extreme hazard to the animal.

I appreciate it! As a beginner it's good to know if I am doing things correctly (or not).
