Yeah that sounds about right. The snake can't lay on it on the ceiling so there's no risk of burns. If you think about how hot a CHE or incandescent bulb gets to make a 90* hot spot then 150* on the panel isn't that bad at all. I can put my palm flat on my panels at like 170* no problem. With a proportional stat it will run a bit cooler because it will adjust the power output to keep the temps stable rather than cranking at full blast to reach 90* and then no power until it drops under 88*. Let it run for a day or so to "off gas" and lose some of the stink. I've been using pro heat panels for about a year now and really like them. Never tried reptile basics though.
