Fitting 10 gallon and larger terrariums, the Snake Strip's slim 3.5 x 18 inch form factor is the preferred heater shape among snake keepers worldwide - delivering targeted bottom heat along the rear portion of the habitat to create the thermal gradient snakes need for proper thermoregulation.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAt just 10 watts, the Snake Strip is an energy-efficient heating solution that sticks directly to the glass bottom of the terrarium for optimum heat transfer. The direct glass contact ensures consistent, reliable warmth is delivered to the substrate and enclosure floor, giving your snake a warm side to move to when it needs to regulate its body temperature.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThermoregulation is essential for snake health - without a proper thermal gradient, snakes cannot digest food efficiently or maintain normal immune function.
