I heat my boas in two ways. One way is with radiant heat panels. These are plugged in and run 24/7 with no dimmer switches or thermostats. There other cages are heated with Cobra heat mats which heat to 100 F if I remember correctly. These also run 24/7 with no dimmer switches or thermostats. My cages are Neodeshas. I have had no problems in several years. Is this a smart way to go? Is it as safe as it seems? I just think this way may be safer than using thermostats and dimmers. I hear about fires and shorts and it is scary. What is everyones opinion about this method?

Thanks,
Dan
