I am interested in buying a heating cable for my ant colony.

I would just like to know what is the recommended wattage for a small founding colony?

I purchased this cable: https://www.amazon.c...t/dp/B001LQUZAM.

Works really well and is long enough to use for multiple colonies.

Wattage doesn't affect maximum temperature for reptile heating cables. Longer cables will require more watts. They're all the same temperature, so just choose whatever length you need.
