Okay, thank you. My bf bought my snake's heating pad and set it up so I'm not sure what kind it is. He says it won't go over 95 degrees, but I wasn't comfortable relying on that so I bought a different heating pad and a thermostat that should arrive within a couple days.
Well here's a twist.. As I was writing this post, I got into an argument with my bf about whether I needed to buy that second heating pad. I told him the one she was on felt really hot to me, and he argued that it would never go above 95 or 100. I got frustrated and went in to show him that I couldn't touch it with my bare hands, and he grabbed the IR gun I had just gotten today. It measured 131 degrees on the glass.
So, that heating pad is gone now, and I'm happy to have a replacement en route for her tomorrow.
I'm glad I read the other thread about "conflicting advice"! You guys may have indirectly helped me save her from getting burned!
