If you decide to go with a heat mat, Kane is the best I have seen. I purchased my heat mat over two years ago for my 50lb. "bulldozer" and it works great. I have used it with and without a rheostat, indoors (garage), outdoors (doghouse), it also cleans up great with bleach and unlike the white mats from Bush it will not stain. Make sure you use a thrmostat of rheostat if you use a mat in a confined area and also give your animal the option of getting off the mat yet still stay in the shelter.

: My wife and I are about to accuire a 10 inch sulcata whom will have to reside indoors for now because its a cold winter in boston.The room she'll be in is 4x6,I plan on heat and vitalites ,but I cant decide on which heat pad or pig blanket is best.I also havent found many pig blanket suppliers,just BUSH supplies.What about the fiberglass heat mats, are they any good? The mat should probably radiate heat UP, to protect the floor, and I would guess be thermostatically controlled.Please help,I need it soon, the best suppliers to shop would also be quite appreciated.
