Zoo Med Repti Heat cable

[white_feather]

I went to petmountain and saw a heater cable. Is this a good thing? They have a small one that is 11.5' which gives you 5' feet of heated cable and uses 15 watts. I want to heat my scorpion tank, my B. smithi tank and my Pokie sling tank as well. Does anyone heree use them?

no personal experience with them, but i've heard of people using them. so i assume they work

i use a 25 footer for my 29 gallon tank and it keeps the temp between 79 and 84 degrees depending on time of day. use electrical tape t secure it i tried duct tape and it got to hot to stay attached. hope that helps

One entire 25' cable to heat a 29 gal enclosure? Wow.

I use zoo med heat cable to heat breeding colonies of worms, I have a decent number of scorpions and spiders on sitting on heat cable that I ran back and forth, and I have a breeding rack of leopard geckos wired with. Just make sure you use something to controll the temperature like a rheostat or a-life.
