NO!! Get the snake out immediately. Turn off all power and let the tank cool down to ambient room temperature. Leave the doors/ lid open.
You must get a thermostat or if you have one then adjust it down.
Please supply all set up details: tank, heating, thermometers, thermostat. lighting. |

| As auld baldy said please supply all setup information, that will be a big help. If you have turned the mat on again without a stat it will get to hot again. Are you using a stat? |

You need to stop using this heat source until you have a thermostat, 30'C is top line temp for a cornsnake.
Are you using a heat mat? |

She could well die if you don't take her out immediately and let the tank cool down.
Turn OFF all heating and lights.
Give us the details of your set up for advice on setting things up properly. |

| That bit sounds ok. Heat mat or lamp? Digital thermometer, one or two? |

Thats not a bad set up but now you see why a stat is essential.

| The stat that serena posted a link to is a good one to get but any is essential and I would also get a digital thermometer as the analog ones are not very accurate. |

She will be ok as long as your room where she is at a reasonable temperature (not got Windows open all day)
Don't feed her until the stat is up and running at the right temperatures. |
