[QUOTE="Zurchiboy, post: 70493, member: 4536"] I prefer not to use a heat mat. We have a well insulated house. Our 2 Ts have done well in a daytime temp of 67-69 degrees and a night time temp of 62-64 degrees in the winter. and roughly 74-76 degrees in summer. The Ts we have come from places were they can get chilly nights in their natural habitat. I personally think the importance of a heat mat depends on were you live. Since I am from chicago. I decided not to get a heat map since we have a new heater that is highly unlikely to break down. If we had a 40 year old heater like our AC that has broken down in the past. I probably would Have one to use in the case of a broken heater since We see temps getting well below 0 F here. :) [/QUOTE]
