^^^ I was not seriously considering buying 4 thermostats. But a reptile cage is something I hope to get for all my animals once I have more time to save money. It's just not a good time, finacially, for me to throw money around.

I have foil tape securing the flexwatt to the table. I will try covering all the flexwatt w/ the tape though.

And yeah I think I may be getting too caught in "perfection" and maybe should just let it be a lil imperfect. I suppose the cool end being too cool is better than the warm being too hot. My snake spends 95% of his time in his warm hide anyways.

Afterall, my sister in law has had a BP for 10 years living off nothing but a heat rock in a room temp 20gal tank with a screen lid. She's now 2200 grams and looks fat and healthy to me. She's never once had any vet trips or problems. She goes off feed during breeding season, but other than that she's been ok. I'm pretty confident my husbandry is at LEAST better than this =)
