Yeah as soon as I'm able I'm going to get a Herpstat, I'm elated I ever have a thermostat now since I got my thermometer late and found out my uth was 125! of course the reptile store I bought it from was just like, "don't worry about a thermostat they don't get that hot". Poor little Eli could have got a burn, luckily I had packed the substrate on pretty thick just in case.
