Using the Zilla Advanced Carbon Fiber Reptile Heat Mat is super easy. First, pick the right size for your terrarium. Clean the area of the tank where you'll place the mat to make sure the adhesive works well. Then, stick the mat firmly on the tank using the adhesive backing. Plug it in, and it'll start heating up to a safe 113°F on its own.

For maintenance, just use a dry cloth to wipe the mat clean. Avoid using any harsh chemicals as they might harm the carbon fiber material. With proper use and care, your heat mat will last a long time and keep your pets comfortable.
