Towards the edges, the temperature gradually reduces — this measured taper actively lowers the risk of thermal stress on glass-bottomed enclosures, which can cause cracking when heat is concentrated too sharply at one point.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eInstallation and Placement\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cbecause it is positioned outside the vivarium all electrical components remain completely separate from animal environment. full installation guidance provided on product packaging.\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSafety in Use\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNo electrical wires run within the heating surface itself, reducing risk to animals and keepers alike\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGradual edge temperature reduction minimises the risk of glass cracking under sustained heat\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDesigned for use with a compatible thermostat — always connect to a thermostat for safe, controlled operation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCreating a Thermal Gradient\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBecause the strip is fitted externally — underneath or to the side of the enclosure — it is straightforward to position it across only part of the floor or wall. This allows keepers to establish a clear warm zone at one end and leave a cooler retreat at the other, which is essential for thermoregulation in the majority of reptile species.\u003c\/p\u003e\u0026lt;\u003c\/because\u003e","brand":"Peregrine","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54147685548369,"sku":"HRS032","price":42.66,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/viperia.co.uk\/products\/rs-heating-strip-32w-110cmx15cm","provider":"Viperia UK","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
