Yeah, that's my intial reaction too, NewbieNo cooking my snake!
I'm using one of those UTH that looks like a big ol heat tape strip since I'm a bit suspect of the heavy plastic UTH's with fires etc. The chap I bought it from said I "didn't need a thermostat" since they don't draw much electricity. Though glad I got one since I'm not doing the best atm :\.
Ok, took another reading, as you guys went "Uhhhh too hot homie", it read 97. *head desk* Back down we go!
Maybe I should consider a new heat gun!
