Hello!
Either you have not registered on this site yet, or you are registered but have not logged in. In either case, you will not be able to use the full functionality of this site until you have registered, and then logged in after your registration has been approved.
Registration is FREE, so please register so you can participate instead of remaining a lurker....
Please note that the information requested during registration will be used to determine your legitimacy as a participant of this site. As such, any information you provide that is determined to be false, inaccurate, misleading, or highly suspicious will result in your registration being rejected. This is designed to try to discourage as much as possible those spammers and scammers that tend to plague sites of this nature, to the detriment of all the legitimate members trying to enjoy the features this site provides for them.
Of particular importance is the REQUIREMENT that you provide your REAL full name upon registering. Sorry, but this is not like other sites where anonymity is more the rule.
Also your TRUE location is important. If the location you enter in your profile field does not match the location of your registration IP address, then your registration will be rejected. As such, I strongly urge registrants to avoid using a VPN service to register, as they are often used by spammers and scammers, and as such will be blocked when discovered when auditing new registrations.
Sorry about all these hoops to jump through, but I am quite serious about blocking spammers and scammers at the gate on this site and am doing the very best that I can to that effect. Trust me, I would rather be doing more interesting things with my time, and wouldn't be making this effort if I didn't think it was worthwhile.

Do your heating pads burn out fast?
I buy the regular ones you get in the Reptile stores and even use a thermostat but they only last 2-6 months. Any ideas? I only set the thermostat at 95 degrees.

Do you have them running through a surge protector?

I know the brand shouldn't matter, but what brand do you buy?

Do your heating pads burn out fast?
No but I sure do(burn out fast) Ha ha
It really seems like something or some element is making them burn out pretty quickly if you ask me,because I have some pads last years,so maybe its the element around pads like moisture,coil pinching or Iregular currents in your house?

The brand is Zoo Med. It's the largest sized pad I saw in the store. The cage is 4ft.X2ft.X2ft. It's NOT hooked up to a surge protector.

It still produces some heat, but it's definitly not 95 degrees which is what the thermostat is set at.

What temp is the room they are in usually they will only raise ambient temps abot 10-17 degreees in the cage.Example 70 degree room your only gonna raise pad temp to 85-87 or so a cold room will drag down even the best pads.
