Heat tape is just not getting that warm.

[Eric Alan]

I checked the temps of the single piece of tape and the ambient was 77.5 and the hot spot under the paper towel was 92. Should I drop the thermostat a little before I put the animals in?

If it were me, I'd drop it by 2 degrees to float right around 90. Besides the snakes not needing more than that, you'll save a little bit on electricity and have a bigger safety net should anything get off a little bit on you.
