he will get below the substrate, count on it. there will be some heat loss between the heat source and the cage. the highest temp the snake can reach is what you need to monitor. the bottom of the cage, not the top of the substrate. take the temp there (but keep the probe on the outside) and adjust as needed. i'd be a little more patient and adjust it in something less than 5 degree increments. your BP has no need for any temps above mid/upper 80s. (apologies to the "your hotspot must be exactly 90 degrees" crowd)

I think 95 is a bit high. I stay 93 and under. My super pastel is at 93 under substrate keeping top at 89-90 and he burrows down in his care fresh and has never shown a close sign of a burn. My killer bee is at 92 under substrate and stays 88-89 on top and has never shown sign of a burn either. You can bump it up a little and if you want the top of the aspen a little warmer then just remove a little from the warm side.
