Hi all, I am looking at a click clack set up for a stimmie hatchling. In terms of heat mats for a click clack, can I please have some advise for the best size of heat mat and wattage. Also, are they easy to connect to the thermostat?
Thanks be to all you herpers and this cool website. |

Could cause problems inside the container beta of outside. |

A good explanation with a pic.
Can't ask for more than that!
