Does anyone use Flexwatt with an on/off thermostat instead of a proportional? I just got some Flexwatt and I have an on/off thermostat (Alife) and was wondering if it was safe to use. I've heard some opinions that it is not safe.
Any thoughts? Good experiences? Bad experiences?

That set up is exactly what I have going for my cages. I have 3 foot of 11 in flexwatt hooked up to one thermostat(for each of my cages)....I have this on 5 different cages. The only trouble i have ever had was it got to warm for the snakes when I had it on the floor of their cages so I moved it to the tops of my cages and all is good now!! When I had mine on the bottom I also had it in the cage on the floor so if you have it on the bottom of the cage it should work just fine! Hope this helps. I find it works good and Im not worried about anything happening with it safety wise. i have had it like this forever it seems and nothing has ever messed up!
