Got my Hydrofarm thermostat; now what?

[The Serpent Merchant]

o.O did i upset someone XD

it doesn't get hot enough when there's a Tstat used with it, as in if the Tstat is in the enclosure it will still keep the heat tape below a burn-able heat trust me it works i have never burned a ball or any animal for that matter

your right inside of a cage, i said cage because they mentioned glass which means there using a tank of some sorts so i was trying to word it to there needs i personally use a rack that uses bins and heat tape which effects the air temp in the bins quite wonderfully thank you

the air in my apartment can be 60 and the air in the bins can be 80 and then everyone's happy

You said:

i only use 8watt heat tape that doesnt get hot enough on full strangth to burn the snake

That is 100% false and that is what I said in my previous post. Unregulated 8 watt flexwatt can get more than hot enough to burn a snake. With a thermostat it is a different story but that isn't what I was talking about in the first place.

I can prove that flexwatt doesn't effect air temperature in any meaningful way... take a piece of flexwatt, plug it in, and let it heat up for an hour or so. Then place your hand 1/2" above the flexwatt. you aren't going to be able to feel any heat coming off the flexwatt. this means that it isn't heating the air. I would question the thermometers that you use.
