We have a winner!

Didnt let me add also, you are much better off running a little too cool than too hot. Overheating and neurological damage can happen fast and can be deadly but a slightly cooler cage will just equate to the snake sitting on the heat source 24/7 and can easily be remedied.

As always, Sauzo, your opinion is appreciated.

If you run redundant thermostats and run them properly, you should not have to worry about overheating.

However, I agree, cooler is better than too hot! I'd rather have my tank drop to 72F than go to 98F, every day of the week and twice on Sunday.
