Gag....unless this is the fountain of youth I'll pass! My grandma loved mayo egg and onion sandwiches.

Because the Zilla plugs into the socket on 3 prongs, it is perfectly safe to add an adapter to the end of your heater to plug into the Zilla.

How exactly do you come to the conclusion? The adapters are meant to plug into 2 prong wall outlets, with them getting a ground connection via the screw that holds the plate on. Plugging it into the thermostat using the adapter does not accomplish the same thing.

That's exactly what I use on my trimmer and weed whacker. Works fine.....

I stepped on one of those this morning. It was right on par with a lego.

You don't have a ground path to your over current protection. What this means is you are risking a fire . The ground helps the breaker trip faster . Without the ground it could potentially not trip and turn the wire into a heat strip and burn your house down . With any animal you need to make sure everything is grounded properly. Animals are very sensitive to residual voltage. Just an FYI .

No, Cameron, the adapter would go on the Zilla's receptacle for the heater to plug into, not on the outlet on the wall. The Zilla is grounded - has a three prong plug for the wall outlet

So this thermostat has a 3 prong outlet on it for my heater?
Not sure why Zilla only has a 2 way outlet.
I may look for a 3 to 2 prong adapter.

Yep!

when my wife sits around the house she really sits around the house. That's because she's average sized and the house is a dollhouse.

The reason why your thermostat only has two slots is because its designed for lighting fixtures . So you will need to get a three prong thermostat . That's why I build my own thermostats and wire all my enclosures myself . I don't buy all that crap from pet stores .
