Hey everyone.
I just got back from a trip and had a major freak out with my snakes. I bought a new lesser while I was gone so I put him in a tub and went go to get all my luggage and stuff from the car.
About 30 minutes later I come back and check on him... and the hot side temp is 132. A hundred freaking thirty two! I have my snakes in an AP rack regulated by a herpstat 1. Apparently when I moved one of the tubs around, the probe got dislodged.
I immediately took all the snakes out and fixed it. The temps were only that high for about half an hour and they all seem to be fine.
I thought the herpstat 1 had ways of preventing this from happening? I set the high/low shutoff temps to 100 and 80 but the herpstat kept reading the probe at around 96 (probably because an inch away from the 130 degree heat tape it WAS 96 degrees? Not sure.)
What can I do to prevent this from happening again?
