    I'm 15. Maybe Florida isn't 80 all year long, but it's a whole lot warmer in winter than it is here. Everyone I know has always used Celsius.

    We were all young dumb and full of it at one point. Let's not bash on him or his age. Sucks when you become the oddball.

    Listen man, just grab this http://www.amazon.com/Hydrofarm-MTPR...den+thermostat

    Regardless of how hot it gets outside or inside. Wherever you live Antarctica or Cuba. You need a thermostat. If his Temps get over 92 for extended times it can cause brain damage. If he pees or poops and is sitting in it then he will get rashes and burns. Don't you want to see marshal 5 ft long and happy and healthy. I promise it will cost you more over time if you don't get it

    I use that therm. You can get them at garden supply stores as a seedling mat thermostat. Or at a pet store for 5$ more relableded for reptiles. From one stubborn bastard to another, grab it bro. You will be happy. Marshall will be happy.

    It explains why you aren't taking anyone's advice. You're young and stubborn. Just buy a thermostat.

    Woah dude.
    Too far, calm down. This fellow kid (im 13) is probably confused and is new to the world of reptiles. Although this does not justify him not buying a thermostat, just take it down a notch, its becoming to the point where you're hurting and not helping, i.e. the bashing is going to make him/her not want to use the advice you've given to them.

    From a 51 year old kid I agree. Just everyone chill, no pun intended. Get a thermostat dude. You snake will thank you for it. Now as far as ambient temps go you are gonna struggle up there. My house is old and drafty and I literally used duck tape to seal around windows and stuff. Your parents probably will kill you but if you get a good space heater and seal the room some you will make it easier. And without going back over the entire thread I can't remember if anyone advised using insulation around three sides of the tank and a wood top over the screen with cutouts for lamps. Helps a lot!
