Herpstat failure likelihood?

This may be a weird question but what does a thermostat failure look like. Do the readouts on the actual thermostat show incorrect settings or is it noticed when checking your temps in your tank.

I recently added a backup thermostat to each of my main thermostats as a safety precaution - do you all have backup units on yours??

Just curious.

Twice now, the temp was 98 degrees in two different tanks. Fortunately I check on temps at least twice a day.

Countless times the temps have dropped well below 88-90. But that appears to be in the spring and summer with the A/C kicking on and off repeatedly during the day.

Fortunately, my last tank is about to be replaced by an AP A-25 with another Herpstat.

I have peace of mind with all of my enclosures which are on Herstats. I still check on them at twice daily, and have never had issues yet. Money well spent.

You did good considering the picture wasn't really good about showing the snakes themselves. :)

Nice ... I tried identifying them from their side markings shown in the water bowls :)

I ordered a herpstat 4 today along with another showcase cage
