Has anyone used this product, and if so can you use one - 27 foot piece to heat more than one cage.

Thanks in advance.

I use them, though mainly in baby racks. I used to heat a large boa cage with them, but I now use overhead heat on that cage only. They do work well, but are very time consuming to tape under the cages. The problem with doing more than one cage is that the two become connected by the heater.

On a large snake like an adult boa, I think it is better and far easier to just go with a heat panel or heat lamp, and maybe a piece of Flexwatt if needed.
