Hagen Thermometers

I use heat cables ( exo terra) in the winter only ( on timers ) as my tanks are in the basement.
These need to used w/ extreme caution. I do not have them touching the glass.

Could you please explain how you used the heating cables with the vivariums? I bought one but don't know how I am going to use it. Thanks.
