Hey all, excuse any misspellings here I am typing very fast and super scared and shocked. I have reptiles as well as birds. I've used heat mats for several years and never had any problems. About 30 minutes ago I woke up and one of the heat mats for my snakes exploded. It literally exploded. It was smoking profusely and there was a massive black hole where the tank was.
Got everyone out of the room, including the birds. I got them to a clean, smoke free room and opened a window (screened) and put a towel in front of the door. I immediately put a fan up to air out the room.
I'm just freaking out really bad now about the birds. I don't know how long the smoke was happening. I assume I woke up pretty quick, or else it would have been on fire.
Everything is fine now, but I'm just panicking about the birds. What else can I be doing here?
