I had ball pythons growing up and never had a problem with burns but I did always have just the carpet on the bottom of the whole cage. So that probably provented it. I also would like to control the temp due to if it gets to hot I dont want in to start a fire. I mean it could happen Im sure.
Yeah, I've heard stories of fires, electrical shorts, and malfunctions that melt the pad itself, and even pads that get SO hot it cracks the glass of the tank.. crazy stuff. I'm sure it'll be fine temporarily though, as long as you can get the stuff by tonight or tomorrow and have SOME way of measuring the temp today (probe thermometer).
