Yeah. heaters scare me because of the potential for fires. Definitely want to be able to monitor it while it's plugged in and perhaps hook up a smoke alarm to it...
true but theres also quite a few that have built in termostats that are programable and have failsafe features.
I used to (well I stil do) have heating pads for all of my snakes enclosures .looking at the electric bill was a sad thing.Since I can be spending like I did before my wife got sick I bought a heater and it has worked just fine.mind you I do have a smoke detector/fire alarm in that room .The heater has built in fail safe features that automaticly shut it off when:
it's toppled over.
there's something real close to the heater (as in somthing in front of it) that increases the temp and could cause a short
if the termostat stops working
the oscilation option stops working
so in a few I'm quite happy with my heater.it heats the whole room qucikly and efficiently and I don;t ahve to worry about pluggin each heating source from evry enclosure to the wall.
I can't remember the brand at teh moment but once I get home I will look it up.
