ok I wonder what the rough range to be consider an overheat for a ball pythons? I just did my secondary dailiy check on my snakes. and I found one shelf seriously over heating and the other are normal. I got 6 shelves on a single tstat via a 6 plug power strip. I set the temps to be about 95-98 at the probe on the flexwatt. I just found a single shlef with a temp ( and an alsomost steamer type tubs on 2 of my snakes. it seems like the flexwatt either screwed up and over heated (repeating) to an excess of 120 degrees. it melted the tub some and is now in the trash. I not too sure how hot the inside of the tubs have gotten and I hoping it was just aquick think that happen right befoer i walked in. but the tubs in question have some heat damage to the bottoms ( really soft and almost like it melted. ) i am hoping the melted parts are just from the flexwatt. but the tubs are I am beting almost 100% humidity cause it hits you in the face when opened up ( the snakes could not get out fast enoug. they in some junker tubs( spares I kept but never liked due to the lids pop off easy) until I figure out if the tubs cab be cleaned/safe to use.

anyhow I think the temps might of gotten to about 100-105 range since the aspen inside not burnt any and the snakes seems ok so far. I betting that the flexwatt shorted out or something.
I only pulled them out cause i smelled plastice and was checking al lthe tubs. ( they all getting a cool night until I can go over everything inthe morning ( cool night being about 82 degree room) I hoping it just a single shelf messing up cause I don't have funds to replace 11 inch wides x 3-4 sections x 5 shelves right now.( heck I need about 60 ft of 11 inch wide to do all my shelves.)

I got a bunch of 4 inch but i have to run 2 strips of it to get the temps up enough for the snakes. hot side ( too narrow for bps I think). will update by lunch time tomorrow
