I agree with Pit and Coopers.
Even a smaller unregulated pad can burn an animal or cause a fire.
The label might say it doesn't get over whatever temp, but all of the commercial heat pads can get up to 130*+ unregulated.
There are a few people here who have had unregulated heat pads melt tubs and crack aquarium glass. One person with a bearded dragon had her unregulated mat catch their wooden viviarium on fire.
Its your own choice to use a thermostat or not. But its not good advice to tell a new keeper to not use one because you don't. You have a right risk your own animals, but don't ever risk someone else's.
