Second off the thermostat I recommended DOES HAVE a safety feature that shuts it off the unit upon failure. So let me once again say the tstat that I recommended is in fact within the parameters of cheaper thermostats a great cheap one. And it would be a disservice to not mention which options are best at different price points. I happened to present a good cheaper option. So rather than bash anything that you deem not the right choice, please just try to present your own options for her without generalizing anything cheap as bad.

From Zilla's website: "An added safety feature automatically shuts off the heating system if terrarium temperature exceeds 110°F due to heater malfunction or excessive sunlight."
Not ONCE did we BASH what you said, were TELLING her best investment... Your thermostat should be your Best investment in snake keeping as a 110$ piece of equipment, can and will hold Thousands of dollars of snakes, Mines roughly protecting over 35,000$ of snakes, on just 1.... So yes dont cheap out if you dont need too.. it will HOLD its value!
