Again hydrofarms are for plants.
And I suggest against it, because i believe spending a little extra money for a Proper 100% quality thermostat designed for reptile keepers.
And again most snakes, IF left in a normal room temp (which would be an assumption based on the average quality with no more info given) will likely not thrive, if not given proper temps. But if we want to say your snake can do fine in low to mid 70's for its life without any complications ok we can go with that... the attacking here is quit funny when I was giving advice, USUALLY with giving proper advice you give warnings on the negative.
"If you don't have a thermostat for a UTH your snake will likely burn its self"
so if you don't give proper temps YES your snake will likely get ill, "you should give your snake a proper hot spot" (with nothing else seems uninformative and a common idea we'd all assume everyone knows)
So again SORRY for my 100% wrong misinformed information Mr misha. I should assume we all have 85+/- ambient rooms temps through our house, and yes we wouldnt need a "hotspot" as this is a very high ambient heat for the common house.
As I said I'm not here to argue, but to help. The info i gave is not false at all. If a snake doesn't have proper hot spot/heat yes it can/will become sick.
