Title: FIRE HAZARD! MELTS ITSELF!
Product review: Bought the medium heat mat. Installed it on the bottom of my herps tank. The tank does not rest on anything and actually is held up for display by the sides so there is nothing to pinch or inhibit the heat mat. At first it started acting weird and would get super hot or barely hot at all. Then it got so hot it melted and destroyed itself. This was a little over 1 month of using it. Ordered product 7/18/12, received heat mat 7/20/12, started using 7/24/12, return policy is only until 8/20/12, first week of 9/2012 it melts itself. When it destroyed itself by becoming so hot it melted itself it was plugged directly into the wall outlet and secure to the bottom of the tank without any inhibiting factors like being pinched or such. Went to the reptile shop near my work and they said this was common and the only type of "mat" they reccomend is the film strip mats aka Flex Watt Heat Tape or Ultratherm.
