Not only can the unregulated UTH burn your animal but it can actually crack the glass in your tank. I know first hand, trust me. We got my son a 30 gal tank set up with his first snake and it came with the squareb stick on, rubber heat mat. The pet store said everything we needed was in the kit and it didn't come with a thermostat. A week later, the whole bottom was cracked.
