I have been running an unregulated heat pad on my Thamnophis sirtalis sirtalis. I know they get too hot but it was a small pad so it was just a little hot spot. I read online about somebody's heat pad catching fire. So I got scared about my unregulated heat pad burning my house down. Need thermostat.

Today I put on an old bigger pad with duct tape and a Zilla thermostat. I have a small extension cord with three outlets on the thermostat so I can plug my corn into it when she comes out of bru. I'm thinking 85-90 deg. f. for this garter. Is that good temp?
