Supplies

2. Food container

3. 1/4 Silicone hose

Run the silicone hose underneath the terrarium that you want to heat, keep one side of the terrariums without heating to give the opportunity to have hot and cool areas. The end of the silicone hose must return to the water container.

(Optional) Temperature Control

Optionally you can plug the water pump into a temperature controller so the pump should be turned off when the desired temperature is reached.
