Silicone heating cable is mainly used to glass terrariums and rack systems.
To avoid contact between animals and the heating cable, the cable will be put outside of the terrarium. To obtain thermal gradient, the heating zone will represent about 1/3 of the surface.
You must not cut, modify, submerge, superimpose the cable. It is highly recommend to use a thermostat to regulate the heat and to space every row of cables no less than 3 centimeters.
