Rubber Heaters

I have been looking for water resistant heaters. My question is will these be safe to use in an reptile cage.

Silicone based cables are already used in the pet trade for heat cables. I would use again, depending on the type of setup I end up doing.
I had them many moons ago, using a brand I can no longer remember, they lasted well and were reliable, in my case at least.

I cannot speak for China based stuff like your link.

So the question to ask is what type of setup are looking at doing or already have in place that you would use these?

LOL.

The more seasoned up to speed with product Keepers may need to advise.

I am sure you can source locally though for what you need.

Are you placing inside or outside of caging?
Tub or actual Vivarium type?
