I too don't have any becuase of the stories I have read, along with the care sheets.
My argument always used to be that, like Pugsly said, wouldn't they jump off?? Then some ppl went on to tell me that 'they can't feel heat from underneath, that's why they don't jump off'. Now THAT my friend, is the BIGGEST load of garbage I have EVER heard!! I have 2 beardie at the mo that have no other heating apart from a heat mat. Both of them ran over to it and flattened themselves out!! Now tell me, if they COULDN'T feel heat from below, would they be doing THAT????
I agree that there should be an alternative heat source, and 'maybe' (I have no idea if this would work??) you could put a towel or something over the rock to decrease the chances of beardie burn? I don't know if this would be a fire risk though
Hopefully someone else here uses them and can give you some first hand advice.
And the whole thermostat thing would probably work, but again, I have never tried it, and it would then put you out of pocket even more...
Good luck Alex
Sorry I couldn't be of more assistance!
