I am in the process of building a four Viv stack and wandered how you would put ceramic tiles as the substrate as I have heard many people do. In the warm end will be a heat mat so how would you tile over this as the wire and connection would make it uneven would it not

Your help would be appreciated

The ceramic tiles would probably block most of the heat. I would recommend mounting the mats onto the walls of the vivaria (1 inch from the ground) thereby reducing the risk of contact burns and heating appropriately.

i would of thought that if the tiles were thin enough thay would act as a heat stone and u could just cut a hole for the cables Cool
