[QUOTE="m0lsx, post: 186011, member: 29323"] If they removed the word mat & used a different word instead, maybe heat mats would get a better reputation. As the biggest problem is people putting them under the T. If you feel you really need extra heat, then tape the mat to the back or the side of the enclosure. Give your T some graduation of heat & if possible keep it above the substrate. Last winter I used some heat cables, which allows a very narrow area of extra warmth to be shared around several enclosures. The problem with that is a thermostat is pointless, as a long cable gives warmth to lots of enclosures. I used the cable close too, but not touching the base of the enclosures. [/QUOTE]
