Heatmat for a 36" vivarium??

[Liizard]

Hi guys, Just bought myself two new 36" vivs for my leos, just wondering how you guys heat them as i cant find a heat mat large enough. The floor measures 36" x 18.5" and all the heat mats seem to have a depth of 11". Is there a better way of heating a viv this size? I figure I need to cover at least 40% with a mat? and I know they need heat through their bellys.

and my second question is about the repti-glow 2.0, is this light suitable for general day lighting in these vivs?

You dont need the heat mat to go across the whole tank you want a warm and cold side anyway

The large heat mat you found will work just fine. That is what we used for our leos when they were in that size tank. You will find that some of the heat will go beyond the mat itself.
