I got a heater for one of my scorps as it is getting really cold here. BUT:.....

It says on the heater 8w heating...... as I am not an thermodynamic expert can someone please tell me what kind of heat in °C can this create? On glass surface ofc.

They will usually create whatever heat you need, unless you are in Antarctica, and your tank is outside. Just don't put the mat under the tank; put it on one side or the other. I would actually suggest a ceramic heat bulb. It uses IR to heat the tank, thus no visible light, to disturb the room; not to mention they put off lovely heat. They're a bit expensive, but they work!

Heater is 20x20cm and terarium is 20 x 40 cm..... so I meant it to go in the middle because I have the tank seperated in the middle so both scorpions can have warmer and colder sides.

If your room temp is 20+ then I suppose it should be enough.
