And yeah ^^, I preach that NO heat source should go uncontrolled. If the t-stat isn't a possibility right now go over to walmart and grab a light dimmer (rheostat) for $10 to control the heat pad. Just remember rheostats fail "ON" so full power will be given to the pad if it malfunctions.
just following what the care sheet from this forum says.
Thats too hot, and not to be followed.
I bred corns and kings before pythons. And I only provied them a 80-82 room temp nothing else. If your room can maintain 80-82 you dont need to have heat pad on the tub at all.
