Hi Everyone!
I'm new here and a first time BP owner. Thank you for having me. My photos are too large but I'll be adding some soon. I have a normal BP, she's about 3 months old and her name is Una. I love her!

I just got my BP the end of June. Things are going very well. Couldn't have hoped for better. I just bought a Herpstat 1, after a lot of research it's what I decided was the best option for me and my BP. I'll be using it with a heat mat only at this point.

I'm just wondering since the the Safety Tips insert has me all freaked out now. Although I know these are often just cautions I take safety seriously for my BP and the rest of my pets in my home. Hopefully anyone with experience with this unit can tell me if I should be using anything additional with its use. The manual safety tips mentions a surge protector but I'm not sure how necessary something like this is if I'm only using the unit for the heat mat at this point.

Thanks so much!
Nadine
