Yeah, all it takes is one close call to push the "submit" button on the Herpstat order. I did the same when my Jumpstart failed on me. Good thing I obsessively check temps and caught it right away, but still. All that holding out on ordering a Herpstat immediately went out the window when I was that close to cooking my beloved snake.
I love the Herpstat so much, I kick myself for not getting it sooner.
