Product Description
Antkeepers around the world rely on heat cables to maintain optimal temperatures for their colonies. The Zoo Med Repti Heat Cable is ideal for heating full-size formicaria or test tubes. It promotes faster brood development (eggs, larvae, and pupae) and creates a heat gradient, allowing ants to regulate the nest temperature naturally.
To use, simply place the cable along the side or top of the nest, or near the exit of a test tube. The flexible design makes it easy to install exactly where warmth is needed.
Available:
-
11.5 ft (3.5 m), 15 watts
-
14.75 ft (4.5 m), 25 watts
Safety Feature:
The first 6 ft (1.8 m) of the cable is a cold lead that does not produce heat. This built-in safety feature prevents excess heat near the electrical socket or power source.
