ABSTRACT:
A heated place is provided for cold-blooded animals or creatures, such as snakes, and the like by casting or molding a rock-like formation with a base, sides, and ridge-like top in proximity at least one location and having a predetermined contour. The rock-like formation and its contour are selected to provide a suitable and relatively comfortable habitat and place for the creature to set, rest and/or sleep. A heating device is provided to heat the area of the rock-like formation particularly at and about the contour of its ridge-like top. The heating device is embedded within the material of the rock-like formation proximate the ridge-like top so as to follow its contour. The heating filament or element of the heating device is encapsulated in silicon which is then encapsulated in an aluminum braid sheath. An epoxy encapsulation is provided at the place where the leads connected to a source of electrical power. Electrical resistors may be electrically connected in parallel with the heating element and similarly encapsulated.
