I'm still probably going to end up checking on his temps constantly like I did the first 2 months again haha

feel better soon! [emoji4]

Sounds as though everything will be fine :)

Out of interest your taped probe is OUTSIDE the rub hopefully ??


Also why have the probed thermometer testing the cool side when the warm side is more crucial !?
I realise you also have a digital temp gun .

agree with all of the above. just wanted to add i was using jumpstart thermostats for a few months and they were working fine. one day i checked the temperatures and they were way too high. 110F. i tried everything but it wouldn't get back to normal. it might have been fried during a power surge. basically i just wanted to say that you will want to invest in a more advanced thermostat when you are able to. better safe than sorry

Sorry if that wasn't clear, I have two thermometers measuring ambients on both sides, and one of them (the cold side one) has a probe that I place on the hot side to measure its temps so I get ambients and humidities on both sides and hot side surface. It's just because I bought the hot side thermometer after the cold side one so it's out of habit lol

And yeah, the thermostat probe is outside, so I really don't understand how it got knocked out of place :/

Yikes. I've definitely been wanting to get a better thermostat but at the moment it's not really possible. :( Hopefully if things go well financially I'll have a Herpstat or VE by next year. Thanks for the warning. ^_^

I'm sure he's okay.


For the 'human temp is 98.6F' though, that's our internal temp, so it's not accurate to say because a snake sits on a human, that being at 99F is okay. Human skin is rarely ever that temp.

But a spike to 100 will usually not cause any lasting harm and unless a burn develops, I would not bother with a vet visit.

I have had heat incidents where I lost snakes, had snakes have permanent damage and such. It was upwards of 120F though.
