I have been using the Hydor Hydrokable and Hydroset (thermometer) as a heating element under my substrate (cypress mulch) in my enclosure for my redfoot. I've had this set up for about a year, and the heating cable just stopped working this past week. The thermostat is still showing power, but the cable is cold. Has this happened to anyone else? Is this the typical lifespan for this equipment? I guess what I'm wondering is should I just buy the same thing again and plan to replace it in a year or so, or is there another similar product you'd recommend? Even when the unit was functioning the humidity was never as high as I wanted. I'm not crafty enough to rig up something from spare parts. Any advice would be great, thanks!
