Part of my daily routine is taking temps with the temp gun, checking the thermostat probe, and checking the temp reading on the thermostat just in case.

I had the probe move off the heat tape once and I only noticed because all my snakes were at the front of the tub which was very odd to me. Sure enough, the heat tape was a little over 100*. All the snakes were fine, thank the snake gods!
