Put it this way, if it's 90F on the bare floor, do not go any higher if just using paper substrate.

If just using paper towels, I would aim for 88-89F on the bare floor.

Or, put a hide on top and read the temp in the hide, or lift for a second to read. I agree, paper tends to read a little lower when no weight is on it .

I could not figure out how to post a new thread so I am commenting on this one lol anyways, I have a couple snakes on a rack in my garage. I understand that it is recommended to quarantine in a separate room but what do you think about doing the quarantine in a small hydro/grow tent inside the garage? or do you still think its too risky? I have a spare closet that I can do the quarantine in so im not too worried but I figured I would just ask. Thanks for any info
