I have two units on one rack in my snake closet. The temps in there don’t fluctuate much and I also alternated levels so if one goes out there will be heat above or below.
if they both go out I will have issues, but ambient temperature in the house is usually around 70 so should be ok for a bit until they can be replaced.
What are the ambient temperatures where you would be using them?
My concern with failure isn't that my snake would lose heat but that an unregulated heat source would become dangerously hot.
I'll let Ambassador respond regarding ambient temps since Ambassador is the one considering this Inkbird.
