Silicone coated terrarium heat cable. This heating cable can be used in terrariums, mini greenhouses, seeding trays and other applications where gentle heating to moderate temperature is needed. Heating cable can be used to heat a specific target, for example a seeding pot soil or a slate a reptile is lying on, or it can maintain suitable air temperature inside a closed space. In order to increase general temperature withing a terrarium, heat cable can be positioned under a terrarium or placed on a terrarium wall.

Due to their shape, one heating cable can be used to heat multiple targets simultaneously and the heated area can be adjusted. Heat cable can be positioned under a terrarium or placed on a terrarium wall. Heating efficiency is better if the cable is placed inside the terrarium, if it is applicable in the situation. Heat cable can be also wrapped around seeding pots or other objects.

Silicone coated heating cables are splash water and humidity proof. They can be used in humid conditions and inside terrariums, assuming that they will not be exposed to any physical damage.

Silicone coating is water proof, but the surface is not scratch or puncture proof. Heat cables designed for terrarium use are splash water proof, but they should not be immersed in water. Heat cables should not be used in very damp conditions, unless the cable type has been designed to tolerate high humidity.

Heat cable surface should not be broken. Heating cable should not be folded or bent sharply, cut or punctured. Unprotected heat cable should not be used in situations where it might be exposed to sharp animal teeth or claws or other damage.

Heat cable should never be placed under weight. If cable is squeezed under a heavy object, the structure of the cable will be damaged or broken. There must always be enough airflow around heating cable in order to avoid overheating. Two heat cables should not overlap, cross or touch each other. A single heat cable should not overlap, cross or touch itself while in use.
