Second opinion

There is a lot of info here. Also have a look at the stickies on setups in the husbandry section of the forum. Temps should be taken under the substrate. Any heat source should be controlled with a thermostat.

A thermometer is not a thermostat.

You need a thermostat to plug your heat pad into, and ANY heat source, or it will burn your snake.

One of these is a thermostat if you're on a budget: https://www.amazon.com/MTPRTC-Contro...arm+thermostat
