Too hot or too cold?

[Concept9]

74-76 cool side is just perfect. Just a reminder which I'm sure you know, Kinsnakes like to burrow and UTHs can get over 140deg without a thermostat.

I have two thermostats on my Kings. I keep one the UTH set for 85deg for belly heat and to keep the bottom of the enclosure warm. The other I have on a ceramic heater set for 90deg for warm end heat.

EDIT: Hydrofarms are VERY good mid range thermostats.

Hope this helps.

Thanks MBK, I admit I was wrong for not getting those thermostats sooner. I was monitoring the temps closely but I understand it's much better for me to regulate those temps as opposed to just monitoring them. I also realize the thermostats are a vital tool in taking the best care of my beloved pets. This won't happen again.
