Also when i have 2 people who have been breeding most of the available herps, acachnids, inverts, etc for over 20 years and now own their own store and have been selling all these products for at least 6 years now.. Telling me.. No.. Literally yelling at me saying NO!! Dont use that one!! Because so-n-so & so-n-so (times 10 at least) have had their animals burned and so-n-so ended up with a broken tank due to the heat...

This is the only "proof" i have but it comes from people who make their living with herps. A rare couple who also care about where their animals are going and try to get people to understand the entire cost and commitment before buying anything.

So i apologize if it seemed like i was "selling" anything. I too had a snake burned by an UTH years ago. There are too many people out there who do not think its required to have anything more than 1 simple heat source and nothing to control it. If i can save a few animals whose owners refuse invest in the proper supplies by recommending something to fit their budget. Then i feel better about it..
