Don't take shortcuts - your snakes' lives could depend on it.

[QUOTE=lexxielightning;1459804]Glass gets crazy hot! So yes, I do think it would transfer, and since your'e using paper substrate it doesn't insulate it much either, so you should really just get a t-stat anyways, because it'll be better for you now.

Not to sound like the mean person here, but if you are absolutely set against buying a thermostat to take care of your ball python now, then maybe you shouldn't have gotten a ball python...[/QUlol.

I dont take offense to it, but honostly Im not set on not buying one. I just wanted to see if theres any cheap ones. And yea Im pretty experienced with this stuff and I should have set up the rack system before but I got really good deals on some snakes. So I kind of jumped and got held into some minor set backs. But not to sound rude but I dont have any regular ball pythons anymore. Nothing against normals but all my snakes are morphs. I have owned snakes for 15 years and this was my first encounter with a heat pad. So I really didnt know much about how it would effect them. I knew flexwatt had to be on a therm. But I probably should have gotten one. I will look for something tommorow. but thanks everyone for the advice.

I have 4 each in 3 tanks. They are all babies. Gotta get another rack to get them situated. Just needed to make something temporary for them. But im going to get a therm tommarow but i need to make sure it fits to 3 connections. I am getting this ars rack in about a month so I dont want to spend to much on it!!!

There are less expensive ones like the one at Big Apple, I think its like $40.00. Hell, a table top dimmer would be better than nothing. Can get that at Home Depot for like $16.00. Thats what I used for about a month untill I got my Herpstat II. Just have to watch the temps. a little more.

Like I said, this is better than nothing! It will cut down the power going to your heating device, but you will have to monitor the temp. as it is not a thermostat. As long as the room has a steady temp. it should be fine.

I'm not quite sure what your point is?

Yay?

With 15 years experience, I'm really surprised that you hadn't planned for husbandry as basic as a thermostat to control the heat pad (which DOES go much higher than 100 degrees, btw).

At this point, I would think that money shouldn't be an object to protect your investment of 12 morphs.

yea I went and checked out your site and saw you had a lot of normals. Some pretty pastels thow. But what i mean by that is I have exserted anough time and money into my projects that I no longer have a use for normals and since I got rid of star, my first normal ever, their is no point for me to own them anymore. My pastels become my normals. And dont lie thats where everyone wants to be! LOL. Dont hate!!

yea but the thing is all my snakes are doing fine.I just got a little zilla thermostat so its all good. But thanks for pointing it out to me. My snakes are my pets and when you all talk like im heartless to them you are wrong.LOL. I have a relationship with all of my snakes just as well as everyone here and everyone should. Enjoy your bp's and dont worry so much about trying to lash back at someone who said they could use a little help. Thats from the most experienced to the least. sometimes you dont know who you are talking to until its to late and then you got 2 experianced herps arguing about nothing just from an assumption. I have seen it a few times here. Just be aware of it.
