Get a UTH that is listed for that size of tank. I have a 20l so the one I have covers about 1/4 of the tank. I put it so the hide will go right over it.

A thermostat is necessary for a UTH. If they are connected correctly they will not get hot enough to burn or melt anything in the enclosure, including the snake. I highly suggest the UTH with a thermostat as opposed to the lamps. I'm glad to hear you aren't having any feeding issues with your snake so far, I do suggest also getting some black Con-tact paper from Home Depot, its just an adhesive paper so you can black out the sides and the back of the tank. It helps them feel more secure, however if yours is acting normally you may not necessarily need it, I just prefer it. Good luck and welcome to the site :)

Re: New Owner
Just bought an UTH and another thermometer with a humidity reader on it. Hot spots reads at 92.3 F and the cool side is 86.1. Bought him another hide for the cool side also. Forgot about taping the back out but i'll do that tomorrow when i'm bk out. Links below are new set up and the belly pic requested.
