Heating mat for ants

Description

Heating mat for ants with thermostat – the ideal solution for colder days

Ensuring the right temperature conditions is a key element of successful ant breeding. A heating mat for ants with a thermostat is a reliable and practical tool that allows you to maintain a constant, comfortable temperature for your colony throughout the year. Available in two power variants – 5W and 14W – the mat will meet the needs of both novice breeders with small colonies and more advanced ant enthusiasts with larger formicaria.

Why choose a heating mat with a thermostat?

1. Precise temperature control

Thanks to the built-in thermostat, you can precisely adjust the temperature to the requirements of the ants you are breeding. The thermostat allows you to set the right conditions, regardless of the species, making this mat a universal choice.

2. Safety for ants

The mat has been designed with the safety of your colony in mind. Even heat distribution minimises the risk of overheating the nest. The device operates within a safe temperature range, which is particularly important for sensitive species.

3. Adaptation to different types of formicaria

Two power options – 5W and 14W – allow you to choose the optimal mat for the size of your formicarium. The 5W mat is suitable for smaller colonies and formicariums, while the 14W version is suitable for larger systems such as Combo XL or Universum.

4. Ease of installation and operation

Simply place the mat under the formicarium, arena or in any place that requires additional heating. The built-in thermostat allows for easy temperature control, and the ergonomic dimensions enable the mat to be used in various breeding configurations.

How to use a heating mat?

1. Mat location

Place the mat under or near the formicarium. It is best to heat only one part of the nest so that the ants can choose between a warmer and cooler area.

2. Setting the temperature

Consult the requirements of the species you are breeding and set the thermostat to the appropriate value. For most tropical ants, the optimum temperature is 25–30°C.

3. Monitoring

Regularly check the temperature in the formicarium with a thermometer to ensure that the mat is working properly and not overheating the colony.

Advantages of a heating mat with a thermostat:

• Versatility: Ideal for all species of ants, both tropical and European.
• Energy efficiency: The mat is efficient and does not increase your electricity bills.
• Safe design: Heating without the risk of overheating thanks to even heat distribution.
• Built-in thermostat: Precise temperature control tailored to your needs.
• Two power options: 5W for smaller formicariums and 14W for larger breeding systems.
