A low-wattage heating cable that can be routed wherever a rigid heat mat will not go — wrapped around a branch or vine, run under a tank, or threaded through a breeder rack. The 25W version gives 4.5m of heated cable plus about 2m of unheated cold lead at the plug end, so you can site the transformer well away from the enclosure.
Features
- 4.5m heated length, 25W — spread over a long run, so the surface temperature stays gentle.
- About 2m of cold lead — the unheated section between plug and heated cable.
- Flexible routing — wrap, coil or run it straight.
Important
- Water resistant, not waterproof. It will tolerate a humid enclosure and incidental splashing; it must not be submerged.
- Run it on a thermostat. There is no internal regulation, and a coiled cable concentrates heat where the coils sit close together.
- Do not let the animal come into direct, prolonged contact with a coil.
