Bottom line a heat source should ALWAYS be controlled with a RELIABLE thermostat to maintain proper temps and avoid over-heating.
I have Ultratherm Viv Mat at home. I have made a lot of test before using it and I can confirm: maximum temperature I get is 36°C/96°F. Not a degree more!

My aim is to say why using mat that is able to heat that much! Even if thermostat jams and mat is permanently on I still get just temperature of my body! Nothing that can kill BP... Or from other point of view... why manufacturer is making that hot mats for reptiles!?

just note: because I want 30°C/86°F on substrate I have been using thermostat... so not the panic please.
