I also think that frogs are pretty savvy and wouldn't sleep somewhere that felt too hot. I worry more about the heat lamps overhead that seem very hot. What if the frogs were climbing and got too close? I've burned myself accidentally with those many times before.
Just thought I'd voice my own experience...
I suppose there is still risk, what if the pad were to short circuit?

Interesting. Maybe it just depends on the heating pad. All my experience says to try and avoide letting your frog have access to the glass where the heater is. Perhaps there is conflicting evidence of them being burned due to a heat pad malfuntioning.
