Heat Mats and Thermostats

[tweeds]

What is your opinions on the below heat mats and thermostat, any feedback appreciated. Would the 7 or 14 watt be more suitable for heating a clik clak for a hatchling?

Links edited out.

if you want to pay extra go ahead, but on the same page you found those ones the same thermostat is $11 with free postage and the heat mats both 7w and 14w are both under $20 with free postage, that is less than $31....a lot less than the $42 they want for the combo's

Yeah thanks mate was more after reptile advice then financial advice. Any thoughts on suitability of mats?

Just had the same problem, I wanted a reliable heat mat, because after hearing many stories about mats overheating/catching fire/failing I was a bit hesitant to just get a cheap one thats mass produced in china.

I ended up getting a Microclimate heat mat and a Microclimate Mini stat for heating a click clack. I'd rather be safe than sorry, if your willing to spend a little more, I think it's worth the peace of mind.

Oh, I got a 8.5watt

Those heat mats are good quality. I use about 3 or 4 different brand heat mats for my gecko enclosures and that one is probably top on my preference. So long as you don't go with the green thicker ones, you should be fine.
