[QUOTE="Enn49, post: 70477, member: 3458"] I totally agree with you on this subject. I use heat mats for my Ts but every mat has a thermostat to prevent accidental over heating. I have seen at first hand the damage that can be caused by a mat without a thermostat. It was a cheap mat that my son had in a vivarium containing 2 green anoles and the first we knew was when the 2 little ones hadn't been seen for a few days. On opening the vivarium we were met by a horrendous small of burning plastic. The mat had burnt to a crisp and burnt a hole in the wood below it. Obviously the poor anoles had sadly died. This was many years ago and I presume safety has been improved on these mats This was the mat. It shows how important a thermostat is. [ATTACH=full]33318[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
