    Zoo med heat pad concern

    Hey everyone. I have a ball python he is on a zoo med heatpad for his main heat source that is hooked up to a thermostat and is keept around 93 for hot spot, however i have been reading about the awful reliability of this zoomed product and am beginning to get concerned. i did peel it off already before i knew not to do that because i had to move it over a little bit, everything seems to be the same but im wondering what is the most reliable one im nervous about this one.

    I used a Zoo Med for a about a year with no problems! On a thermostat, you should not have any overheating issues which is why most fail!

    Flexwatt, and at $3.60 a foot you can buy 5 for the cost of one zoo-med heat pad

    Which, if I'm reading his original post right, would leave him with 4 flexwatt paperweights...
