Turn it down! Or turn off the lamp. At 100, you'll fry poor snakey. I never let mine get over 90.



I don't know how dimmer switches work, because I always use human pads with 3 levels. They're cheaper and adjustable! And I''ve had two of them for as long as the reptile UTH I had, and I've never had a problem. Of cours,e I'm not saying ALL reptile UTHs will short out, or even that they have a tendancy to. Just than mine did, and now I don't trust it.
