Burning Temps

[ClarkT]

Just wondering at what temp will the hot side burn a BP?

This question stems from the worry of a malfunction possibility in a thermostat. If it gets up to 100 deg., will it burn a BP? Or is it just going to be too warm?
Does it have to get up to 105? 110? higher for a burn? (not that I want to find out...)

I have seen ball pythons get burns at 105-110 degrees.
Sometimes, it can happen if at 100F for a long period of time.

If you're worried about a thermostat failing, you can get a switch that will cut off the voltage if it gets too high or malfunctions. I forget what they're called.
Dimmer switches will also prevent the thermostat from getting above a specific voltage.
