I dont see a problem with them, I use them in my quarentine room, I personally keep all heat sources on a thermostat, its not worth the risk of something overheating. Also, only use thermostats that reset at what you put it on. I once used the internal thermostat on a space heater, and the breakers reset in the house, and the space heater reset to full blast, and cooked 11 snakes! It was horrible.

I dont know anyone elses opinion, but I approve.
