Make sure that it does not go above 95F. I set my hot spot to 92F, and I try to maintain 82F on my cool side.

Hope this helps.
Ok. Because its my first bp I usually try to do everything right the first time so I wouldn't mind getting the more expensive thermometer as long as I know that it will not hurt the snake. I'm going to try and get it this weekend. Will keep you updated!
