I'm upgrading my gecko to a 20G next week. Now, I know once I peel the heat mat off the 10G the adhesive will be shot, but I only juse bought ithe new when I got him about a month ago. I don't know about putting the clear duck tape directly on the mat, but would it be safe placing a square of coroplast over it and then taping it? It'll still have airflow under the tank as I have those little rubber feet things.

I used package tape to hold the zoomeds I got with adoptions. Neither had any sticky stuff left on them.

So, it should be safe? I'm very paranoid with this stuff lol

It's really no different than using one on a crab tank.
They get up to about 130 degrees max, so duct or packing tape can handle that.

I figured as much, but you know me, I like to ask the experts first
