newbie help, maintaining heat

[frostysBP]

The problem with zilla t stats is 99% of the time they fail they fail on and gö way over 120. I kno that buying a 100-300 $ herpstat that my 1000s of dollars in snakes are a lot safer...... Never ever ever run a uth unregulated I don't care if you have two layers of repi-carpet(junk imo) and 5 feet of substrate possibility the worst advice u can ever give someone .......... Have fun treating a burn....... Dimmer switch is better than nothing but buy a good tstat the herp stat intro is cheap and probably the best lower budget t stat out there.......I see it so many times help my snakes is Burt or look at my new 400 dollar bp in a FISH tank on repti carpet and unregulated heat..........think reaserch think reaserch budget budget research think then purchase....rant over

Yes, absolutely DONT RUN A UTH WITHOUT SOMETHING TO MODULATE THE TEMPS. Get a temp gun. Then either get a thermostat or a dimmer.

Totally agree.
That argument can get really snarky.
Saw it all the time back when I worked a the pound and frequented a dog care forum. God forbid that someone living paycheck-to-paycheck should adopt a desperate puppy!

You are grossly exaggerating my point. Proper temperature control is 100% needed and not a huge expense. If somebody cannot provide that, they should not have a reptile.

UTH+Temp gun+ rheostat/thermostat/dimmer = Proper temp modulation.

The point we are making is that the proper way is variable, and need not be expensive.
