No reason for asking ut just wondering whats the dangers with both?
My temp is steady now at 32.5 if my thermometer is to be believed. Its a digital one yet the old style one from my aquarium says 40!!!and the crappy round reptle one says 26???? so confusing |

As above, but if the digital thermometer is reading 32.5C, then you're fine  |

I agree- too much heat can kill, but if a snake got too cold it would just go into brumation (hibernation) |

too much heat I would say is worse than being a touch cold. A snake can digest at anything over 19c IIRC (royals that is) so as long as you are over that technically all is ok.
Too much heat causes brain damage etc |

have you tried to calabrate your thermometeter. if any are water proof (guessing the aquarium one is) get 2 cups fill one with icey water and one with boiling water. the cold one should read -0c and the hot one should read 98-100c depending how your tap water is treated. |
