Anyone ever used a heat mat for lizards for a chick? I have a week and a half of sebright chick that seems to be cold. I have a heat lamp on her (I hope it's a her) but that doesn't seem to be doing the job. I currently have her on a heating pad and she is in heaven and the quietest she has been all morning! That's why I was thinking of doing a heat mat....
