Here's how I keep my snake room. The Ranco thermostat is set to 78, so it never falls below that ever, but it's getting to the time of year where the heater never runs at all here in AZ. I keep the heater's own thermostat turned barely above the point where if the Ranco fails, it won't get too warm. I circled where I have the probe for the Ranco placed.
