Ok,

So I am MOST likely getting a rescue Normal Ball python from Emily and Cookreptiles. Now, She told me about a thermostat that will keep the temperature at a certain temp. Heres my question, why would i spend $70 on a product that is made for 6-8 animals when i will only have one that needs that certain temp(Hope yall understood that).

So what are my alternatives? Is there like a certain heat map that will stay between 80-85? Or what else is out there that will keep the temperature at a onstant, that isnt $70. I mean, I highly doubt my mom will let me get another snake, so it would be wasteless unless i got another animal that uses the same temp. Anyways...Alternatives...please!
