I'd just like your opinions on using heatmats with your Boas. I am guessing many of you dont use heatmats and others do. Personaly i do but have heard claims that they can be distressing/harmful.

I only ask because one of my problem feeders has suddenly developed a ferocious appetitte after someone recomended removing her heatmat. Can someone please draw any conclusions to this?

I must stress that i have always used heatmats safely and am not looking for replys about overheating mats but more how a correctly possitioned normal working heatmat can stress Boas.

Thanks for any replys, Lorie.
