winglesshornet,

Good rescue.

Thank you for your added information. One thing I always try to do is explain my heat sources with a description of my homes conditions. You and I have cold homes so larger heat sources are needed but if we don't explain that a noob can read your post and think a 75 watt bulb will work for their 10 gallon tank when they have a warm home. They could cook their snake because they applied a heat source that is inappropriate for their conditions.

While what you say makes since to you it may not to somebody else because they are not in your head with the rest of the knowledge.
