Rack Heated with Pads

[MitsuMike]

i own 2 of those I used on my first rack I built, their consistent, but both are also at 98 degrees right now lol. and they would get hotter if they weren't on a thermostat. their not self regulating, they just don't "get that hot"

True, not really self regulating but pretty close. But like it's recommended you should still have thermostat.
If people can't afford one, one should not have a snake.
