I just purchased 36 feet of water pipe heating cable for the new snake rack I am building. These guys only turn on when the pipes reaches freezing. I cut out the built in thermostat and rewired the plugin part of the cable to the heating cable. Now when I plug it in, nothing happens. It is not heating up. Am I missing something here? I bought a seperate thermostat to control the heat cable, although I am not using it yet as there is no heat to control.

Oops! When I bought that stuff for heating cages, I got the kind without the built-in thermostat, except for when I actually needed some for keeping my pipes from freezing. Why not post over on the Cage and Habitat Design forum? There’s usually someone there knowledgeable about such things.
