Don't try this at home

Because it "obviously" ignores one of the many basics outlined in the care-sheets available. A constant "perfect" temperature and humidity (which are technically not constants in any enclosure) would indicate inadequate air exchange, temperature gradient, or any number of other possible fundamentals, and explaining how one would achieve such a setup would highlight the component that was ignored.

I would seriously hold the Kudos until an explanation has been presented. This is like saying "Good job" to someone claiming to have perfected perpetual motion, but refusing to explain how they did it, or demonstrating the claim.

Well, I use rheostats in a room that's precisely heated with backup heat in case of a power outage. It would take a nuclear blast to sever the house's line from gas well to heater, to make my room go below its temperature! I would not recommend rheos to anyone who has an insecure base room temperature. So, yes, I maintain my snakes without a thermostat, technically. I swear by my Helix for my incubator though, because it is in a room that slightly fluctuates a few degrees.. can't fit it into my snake room.
So now I think that you should explain your method! Because I am a curious girl.

To help us realize that Cold-Fusion was actually not a hoax, and to believe in the perpetual motion machine.

The OP wanted to start something and then she dropped it because it was ridiculous ;)

Perhaps I should have used a ";" instead of a "." there. That was not the end of my "Kudos."

My point is that as long as her snake is thriving, she is doing a good job.

You know we never landed on the moon, right...:D

Ive been to Eugene Bessettes facility with thousands of snakes in racks and he uses no supplemental heat. The room is climate controlled only. He tries to stray people away from using items such as flexwatt and heat rope and hes be been breeding almost 30 years.
