Is there a way to keep ants warm without heating lamp cable or pad . Worried about them starting a fire . Could I get a heating light bulb and put it in my closet ?

I sometimes put them on top of my bearded dragon enclosure but that will only help you if you have a reptile lol :D
With all the things ants can do, you wonder, who rules the planet :?

15-watt is the lowest you can possibly go with heating cables. It heats the ants up well and I'm pretty sure that it won't start a fire lol.

I recommend the Zoo Med Repti Heat 15watt Heat Cable. You can get it on Amazon.
