Excellent. I saw from your other posts that you've been asking good questions and getting a lot of great advice, so keep up the good work - and don't worry, it gets much easier once everything is all dialed in. (Also, your Gargamel is a great-looking little snake!)Originally Posted by indygunnerguy
As soon as you get your temp gun tonight, measure the temp on the cool side and the hot spot. If the hot spot is too hot (88-90 F is your target range, so anything upward of 92 F might be a bit concerning), then I wonder if it might be safer to turn off the UTH until your thermostat arrives on Friday, as long as your ambient/cool side temp is still a reasonably consistent 78-80 F. Your ball python can comfortably hang out in that ambient temp range for a fair amount of time, compared to the pain/stress and long recovery process if it sustains a burn from an unregulated heat mat.
