I have two thermostats:
1st one is a sticker thermometer that is stuck on the surface of the plastic cage where the heating pad is stuck from the outside.
2nd one is Analog Dual Thermometer and Humidity Gauge

Unless both of them are wrong... the temperature reads between low 70s to low 80s at the most.
