OK, so I am almost done with building a few tanks for my Ball Pythons. All i need to do now is heat the tanks. I was going to get heat tape and set that up, but in the process of looking for some I saw a product called heat cable. I have no idea about how it works or how it compares to heat tape. If possible I would like to hear from someone who either has used or is using heat cable now to give me a rough idea about how it works/compares.

Should I use that instead? If so, does it work like heat tape, or do I have to set it up different?

Thanks guys
