G'day,
My house got broken into on the weekend. Luckily nothing too valuable got taken and they didn't touch my pythons, or dragons (Little bastards emptied my entire freezer except the rats and took an Xbox and that was about it).
However, it has prompted me to put in a burglar alarm at home.
The bloke at the alarm shop recommended a pet-safe sensor that is specially made to not go off when pets walk around the house. I explained that all of my pets are housed in enclosures and don't walk around the house but they do have heatlamps turning on and off throughout the day. He was not sure how this affects the sensors and recommended that I buy the (more expensive) pet-safe ones anyway just in case.
Just wondring if anyone out there who keeps herps with heatlamps and has an alarm system at home without pet-safe sensors has ever had any problems with false alarms etc that they could attribute to the heatlamps or the motion of their slippery friends?
Any feedback or personal experience would be greatly appreciated.
Cheers,
Doug
