Heat cable, 100 watt for leo cages?

Hi I was wondering if the heat cable really does work decently? I figured a 100 watt 39 foot cable should be enough to heat the 6 leo setups I have. The setups are plastic rack units, not to big. I just don't want 6 different heat pads in each cage.

Any info would be great. Thanks

Nevermind I read some reviews, sounds like it isn't to bad.

I've heard heat cables arent the best. Under the tank heaters are the way to go if not that a regular basking bulb

Yeah what you want is a 12 hour light and night cycle like our chameleons. Get a day basking bulb, I have a 75 watt all living things for mine as well as an under the tank heating pad for digestion. The belly heat helps a lot with their digestion so I normally put it on the hot side under their favorite hide. Hope this helps you
