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. The thermostatic ant heating mat is a reliable and practical tool that allows you to maintain a constant, comfortable temperature for your colony all year round. Available in two wattage options – 5W and 14W – the mat will meet the needs of beginners with small colonies, as well as more advanced ant enthusiasts with larger formicaria.

Why choose a heating mat with 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 rearing. The thermostat allows you to set the right conditions, regardless of species, making this mat a universal choice.

2 Safety for ants

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

3 Adaptation to different formikariums

Two power variants – 5W and 14W – allow the mat to be optimally matched to the size of the formikarium. The 5W mat will work well for smaller colonies and formikariums, while the 14W version is suitable for larger systems such as the Combo XL or Universum.

4 Ease of installation and operation

The mat simply needs to be placed under the formicarium, arena or in an area that needs reheating. The built-in thermostat makes it easy to control the temperature, and the ergonomic dimensions allow the mat to be used in various husbandry configurations.

How to use the heating mat?

1 Location of the mat

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 being reared 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 moulding room with a thermometer to ensure that the mat is working properly and not overheating the colonies.
