Heating cable suggestions

[Theantguy13]

I need some heating cable or a heating pad for my new Omni nest. Does anyone have suggestions on. The cheapest and best for ants heating cable or pads?

If it is a website please include a link.

Thank you in advance.

any cable with a thermostat will do. figure out the favorite temperature for your ants and set it to one or two degrees higher than that, then watch where they settle.

What about zoo med 15 watts 11.5 feet?

Personally I don't trust product listings that don't show the product specs, and definitely not one that doesn't show pictures of the product. I like to know what I'm getting before I order it. I don't know the size or heat rating of a reptile cable, but it might work, given that Mikey has used reptile equipment on ants before.

So should I get the reptile cable?

As I said, I don't know if it's a good purchase or not. I personally would not purchase it, but I can't make your decision for you.
