That's kinda the secondary point... The only reason I can see making a pad that gets THAT hot is if you're using a considerable amount of substrate with a species that doesn't borrow or dig at all. Possibly desert species as well, but I still think that's way too much.

I wish I'd taken a picture of it. I saw that and I literally panicked. Unplugged the pad, ripped the lid off the tub, and began inspecting her...
