Hey guys I went out to walmart and picked up one of the accurite thermometers that measures the inside and outside temps and humidity. I put the probe on the glass right above the heat pad and its reaching around 120 degrees....

I ordered the repti therm 500r and it should be here tuesday. Should my snake be fine in his cage until tuesday comes around as long as I make sure he has a good amount of substrate down? Or should I just use the 50 watt red bulb and turn off the heating pad until tuesday?
