Tiles or Paper/kitchen towel?

[MushuSpyro]

So currently I keep my little ones on paper/kitchen towel.
I have seen in the forums that people are using tiles? I'm guessing they are good.
But do they get warm enough with a heat mat? and can you use a overhead heating bulb without the tiles over heating?

And how much would tiles be and where to buy them? (I live in Essex)

yes a heat mat will be able to heat the slate tiles and for heat bulbs as long as you use a thermostat I doubt it will but I've never used a heat bulb but from my knowledge it won't so yea

Any bulb that would not put off so much heat that it would raise the ambient temperature above optimum temperatures would also not overheat the tiles.

I do not know where you could them in Essex. I got mine at a large hardware store. I imagine you would have something similar there. To put tiles in a 20gal. long tank, I bought 2 12in x 12in tiles and 2 6in x 6in tiles. It cost me about $7.

Hope the info helps you!
