to settle an argument - your views.

Surely the real question to ask abouts thermostats is why WOULDN'T you use one?

Why would anyone actively choose to use a heat source without a thermostat?

Mats don't perform better without a 'stat, do they?

Says the guy who spelt thread like this "THRREAD''

Id just give up if i was you, you said you was going to not argue a whie back, but clearly that was a lie.

And i do belive yet again you have misread my comment, i was merely agreeing with what sshisto said not the other way around.

Whether or not I *always* wear a seatbelt* is irrelevant to the fact that wearing one makes travelling in a vehicle safer, and that I should advise people to do so; whether or not I have an un-statted heat mat** does not change the fact that I should NEVER recommend someone use a heat mat without one!

* No, I don't. Buses don't have seatbelts. I wish they did.
** Yes. At the back of my roach racks, wall-mounted. NEVER with reptiles.

I completely agree with the above! =)

And give over with the spelling mistakes!! sorry it really annoys me, its an internet forum not a english class!!!!

Yup, keeping reptiles without a stat *is* rather like being on a bus where I don't have control over the safety measures that affect my life...

The reptiles aren't getting to choose to use the safety equipment either.

[The_Real_Moreliaman]

yes youd be right if the user didnt read the instructions and use common sence...just like driving a bus or car with no lessons or experince
