$12 heating pad sounds nice.. better than $20 for a herp heating pad. I swear, if it's for reptiles, they think they can make it twice as expensive. lol

I can't remember what the warnings say on the UTH.. but they always assume you're a complete idiot when they write those.

I may try removing my heating pads.. I'd really like to have my glass tanks back for fish, and I can move my snakes to the rubbermaid bins. They'll be happier too probably, will feel more secure in translucent plastic rather than clear glass.
