I have a question regarding deicing cable.
 

So I just did a trade, and in it I got a rack from gettin shippy. The heating method is something I've never seen before. It is using roof/gutter deicing heat cable. Is this something people have used without issue? I've used reptile heat cable, but would have thought this would be potentially overkill. Anyone have experience with this?

I thought it was basically the same stuff, just the cable for reptiles was sold in shorter lengths. The roof cable may also be more durable since it has to be out in the weather.

I wouldn't use either without a thermostat of course.

I'll be using a thermostat for sure. The guy I got the rack from has one he kept and uses constantly.
