Hello! Hope everyone is good and their snakes are good too!
I am building a very simple rack soon to hold 5 long tubs for five adult corns.
My issue is heating. I have investigated all my options and I have setlled on Ultratherm Heat Pads from Beanfarm.com
Here in Canada, the winters are very cold and in the house the temps are about 70 so my snakes need the extra heat via the Ultratherm Heat Pads every day, all during the winter. thats the easy part....but here in the summer, about 50% of the days are between 78-90 degrees, and during these days I do not provide supplemental heat at all for obvious reasons....but the other 50% of the summer days mostly are around 70-75 degrees in the house...sometimes for a week or more at a time, so the temps are fluctating (sp) often during the summer when no extra heat is provided.
What device can I buy/use that will control the Ultratherm Heat Pads so that during the winter they will be on almost all the time, like they need to be, but in the summer they will sometimes be on to raise the temp to 80-85, but other times be off for days sometimes even a week when the temps are 80-85 on their own without supplemental heat? Sorry it sounds confusing, but its a pain in the ass during the summer here with some days sky high temps good for corns, and other days not enough heat for them at all.
