Howdy folks. Curious, as this is my first snake, and I've been hearing a lot about using thermostats lately. So far all I've been doing is monitoring the thermometer/humidity readers I have placed on both sides of the tank. However, I just switched from a heating lamp to a heat mat, as I read online that heat mats are better for transferring heat to corns through their bellies. So my question is, how necessary is a thermostat? I definitely want my snake to be safe, and hearing stories of temperatures getting as high as 140 degrees is now making me a bit concerned that I should buy a thermostat ASAP.
