Do i REALLY need a thermostat?
Just thought i`d share a mini experiment with you..
Set up a mat and empty tub without a stat to see what kinda temps it would reach. Its only been set up for an hour, and i think its pretty scary. If there was a corn in that tub it would have been dead around half an hour ago.  The white thermometer is measuring the floor of the tub on top of the kitchen towel, the black one is measuring temps underneath the substrate on the inside of the tub (maybe where a burrowing snake may sit). Pics were taken at 5 minute intervals.    And this one is measuring the temperature on the surface of the mat under the tub:  Temperatures are still rising, the mat surface thermometer has maxed out at 158F. Just thought it may be of some interest.

I went into a pet/reptile shop on Saturday and asked them if they sold habistat thermostats, they pointed me to the aquatic section which i thought was bizzare as they sold snakes themselves, when i said no its for my viv they replied, "oh we just put ours on heatmats",
 they really need to read this post

Should mention that this is in my kitchen on what has been a relatively cool evening. I`ve not done anything to influence the temperatures.
