The new heat stones that are out there aren't as bad as they used to be, but they're still not the best. Basically what it comes down to, is the fact that you've got a "live" heating element inside the tank with you snakes. I've seen animals burned and electrocuted by "hot rocks" in the past, and I don't recomend them to anyone. What it really comes down to is that I don't like putting heating devices inside my snake cages, especially when the animals come into direct contact with it, just too many things that could go wrong.
