AntsCanada suggests a heating cable to speed up the process of ant production. What kind of cable is correct and where can I buy it?

A reptile heating cable is what most people use and they can be bought at most pet stores.

15 watts is reccomended
Proverbs 6:6-8

Go to the ant, you sluggard;
consider its ways and be wise!
It has no commander,
no overseer or ruler,
yet it stores its provisions in summer
and gathers its food at harvest.
