    Re: Don't try this at home

    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.

    I have perfected perpetual inertia. Is this cool?

    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.

    Re: Don't try this at home

    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.
