Exo Terra Heat Cable

Exo Terra Heat Cable allows heat to be supplied exactly where it is needed. It is best used underneath or on the wall of an Exo Terra terrarium to heat specific areas of the terrarium substrate or in breeding racks to heat multiple containers. Flexible, splash-proof and durable, the Exo Terra heating cable has many uses for professionals and hobbyists. It can be used with Exo Terra thermostats.

It is important to leave enough ‘cold spots’ to provide options for the animals and allow for thermoregulation.

The heat provided by both the Exo Terra pads and heating cables will allow reptiles to thermoregulate to achieve an optimal body temperature for increased activity and healthy digestion of food. Infrared radiation penetrates the skin and promotes cell growth, wound healing, supports the immune system, protects against UV damage and stimulates many other biological processes. Exo Terra’s heating cables and pads increase the ambient temperature and provide heat gradients for thermoregulation without disrupting the animals’ day and night cycle.

Both pads and cables are ideal heat sources for reptiles, amphibians, arachnids and plants in terraria. Their safe and even heat distribution is very similar to the heating of surfaces by the sun, where animals can absorb the heat needed for thermoregulation. They are an excellent 24-hour main or supplementary source of heat for tropical and temperate zone species and an essential source of heat at night for many desert species. Heating cables and pads deliver heat directly to where it is needed, making them highly energy-efficient.
