Re: PSA: use a thermostat
Excellent thread / post !!
Maybe it should be a 'sticky' thread to show newbies the danger of not using a thermostat..

i thought u were an experienced old timey herper; temps like that shouldn't come as a surprise in a unregualated heatsource. i remember my friend AKA Dave did this experiment back when we were noobs and made as PSA as well: https://ball-pythons.net/forums/show...amn-that-s-hot!

yep, i don't understand this. alot of them don't sell t-stats even tho the big brands like Zilla and Zoomed have t-stats and rheostats. most work on a dial and aren't as fancy or accurate as VE's or Herpstat's but it's better than 105/150degree temps. Exo-Terra even came to market last year w/ nice digital t-stats and i don't see these in stores either. they can encourage better care for their animals and still making money selling these products. it boggles my mind why they don't do this.
