Human Heat Pad from CVS okay?

[Neal]

The heat pads made for reptile should not be putting off heat you can feel. If it feels warm to you it's too hot!

Human heats pads are just that: Heat pads for humans.
They are not appropriate for reptiles.

You need a heat pad that can be controlled by a thermostat to go down to 90 degrees or less. Human heat pads are not that.

I have 3 zoo-med heat pads, they all work great, and have been for months. One is almost 10 years old and it still works.
But they have to be on a thermostat or rheostat.

What are you talking about if it puts off heat you can feel then it's too hot. If you touch anything that is warm you should be able to feel it and that doesn't mean it's too hot. So I'm going on the limb to say you meant other then what your post is implying.

I appreciate the answers but still none of you gave a reason why i shouldn't use this heat pad. I understand what the needs are for my balls, i have 2 thermostats and one for humidity. Their needs are certainly being met. But why shouldn't I use this? I have always looked for other methods of caring for my reptiles and amphibians because pet stores are basically thieves in disguise, and never had any problems.

We shouldn't have to give you a reason, it's not meant for reptiles and it's not designed in the same way a reptile one is. If you don't want to give your snakes the proper care with the right tools then in all honesty you shouldn't own a reptile.
