[QUOTE="Enn49, post: 54048, member: 3458"] Some makes of mats are more reliable than others but in the UK they are used a great deal especially for snakes which will quite happily lie on the mat and consequently get burnt if the mat overheats hence the need for stats. I used to keep and breed snakes so I got into the habit of using stats with all forms of heating for vivariums. The US have always seemed reluctant to use thermostats although I've never understood why. The ExoTerras all share one long narrow mat on a thermostat and the 2 wooden vivs have a mat each along the back again both on stats. It means that even if the temps drop in the room the Ts are ok.
