Well dont know if it is the heat mats that i use or sell for that matter, but i personally have never seen a heat mat turn brown. So that is certainly something different.

Yes the key is how well the heat can escape, but the idea of a heat mat burning the house down is really a practical imporbability. We have tested this theory plenty of times placing heat mats of various wattage into styrofoam eskies and just letting them run, and this still doesnt retain enough heat.

Out of interest how do the thermal overload things work. I assume you are talking about the green mats, but every supplier i have ever got these from have never said anything about it, so yours must be from else where.
But yeah interested to see how that works,

Oh and as i have said before, i will give my reptile collection to the first person that can show me proof that a heat mat has ever caused a house to burn down.
