    IMO they are completely safe. I have used several with no problems, in fact i use one inside my plastic cricket incubator and have for months now with no trouble. The only problem i can foresee is if you have a water feature and it leaks onto the hot glass and cracks it.

    Theyre safe for crickets, or do you mean they wont burn the frogs either? Does anyone have personal experience that their frogs got cooked by one of these under the tank?

    I have never heard of a frog getting hurt by one but I have heard of snakes being actually killed by them I'm not sure if there is any merit to it though.

    I have never used them before but from what I heard they should be safe. It's the heat rock that you should stay away from.

    I mean it is sitting directly on a plastic tub and doesn't burn it.

    I'll check the temperature of the substrate today and report the findings.
