Heat mat question

[Horsy]

So I just bought a Exoterra Heat Mat (or substrate heater as it's called on the box) and the guy who sold me it said it would do perfectly well with clickclacks. So I get home, open it up and on the instructions it says "Use on glass only". Glass is underlined. Do you think this will be okay on a plastic clickclack or should I take it back? I do have an exoterra glass tank than my baby beardie is currently residing in. What I could do is move him into his 4ft enclosure a little early and put the snake hatchling into the exoterra tank...-sigh- So much hassle. Will this be fine for plastic or should I do all this swapping and moving?

i use same mat on plastic with no problem its the small one tho only 20 cm

This one is like a sticker type thing that sticks to the enclosure and it's not recommended to take it off again. All the heating stuff is in this. It's weird. It better goddamn work. Damn thing cost me $50.

Mine's 8 watt.

Sounds exactly like mine dmx. Think I should just do the whole swap thing? Always so much hassel. But if I just put my beardie in his 4 ft tank early then that's that's over and done with.
