Agree with Rob, all mine have at least 2/3 inches all over. They love to burrow and soon find the heat. Overheating won't happen if your thermostat and probe are set correctly.

I still don't knooow

I have mine like 5mm thick or less on the heated side and like 1-2cm on the cool side. Not that it matters as the heated side soon becomes mostly bald apart from hills of aspen in places.



A very special super, duper thanks for K :3
