Flexible, Targeted Heat for Terrariums and Breeder Racks
The Zoo Med Repti Heat Cable puts warmth exactly where your reptiles need it. At 14.75 feet long and 25 watts, this flexible heating cable wraps around branches, cage furniture, and enclosure accessories, or runs underneath tanks and through breeder racks for consistent, low-level heat delivery.
Built for both hobbyists and professional reptile keepers, the Repti Heat Cable is water-resistant and durable, making it a reliable secondary heat source across a wide range of setups. The 6.5-foot cold lead provides convenient reach to power outlets without adding unwanted heat to areas outside the enclosure.

Material and Design Breakdown
The Repti Heat Cable is built with a flexible, water-resistant outer construction that holds up in the humid conditions common to reptile enclosures. Its pliable design allows it to conform to branches, cage furniture, and enclosure walls without kinking or losing effectiveness. The 6.5-foot cold lead keeps unheated wiring away from the enclosure interior, directing heat only where the cable is positioned.
Setup and Compatibility Guidance
Wrap the cable around branches or cage furniture to create warm surfaces, or run it underneath the tank for belly heat. It can also be threaded through breeder rack systems for multi-enclosure heating. Connect via the included cold lead to a standard outlet. Use with a compatible thermostat for precise temperature management (thermostat sold separately).
Care and Maintenance
Inspect the cable periodically for wear or damage. Wipe clean with a damp cloth as needed. Do not submerge or allow water to pool directly on the cable connections.
