Swmrguy11- Definitely do NOT use a human heating pad. They are not meant to be on 24 hours a day and can develop very dangerous "hot spots" which could burn your snake if left as an under tank heater!

What is good? I've never heard anything on here about "good" or "bad" for UTHs that you could pick up at the pet store. I've stuck with the Exo-Terra brand... but I did buy a Zoo-Med rheostat at one point... my UTH wouldn't even PLUG INTO IT! What a ripoff that was but now I have an ESU Reptile thermostat. Are the products I have now good quality?
