Habistat Heat Strip. 430x 150 17"x 6" 10 W Heat Strips are manufactured in the same way as mats. They are made narrower & are generally used to heat small boxes & the cages used for housing juvenile snakes & some other species. The principles of use are the same as those for mats & the same precautions should be exercised. In small enclosures the heat build up can be very quick. The temperature should be adequately monitored & controlled with a Habi Stat thermostat.
