The Ranco is only going to control the temps for one side of the enclosure. Plug the UTH into the thermostat, I put the probe of the thermostat between the UTH and the enclosure.

As for the probe of the thermometer (not thermostat), I put that on top of the substrate inside the warm side hide.

and u place the thermometer on the cool side right?

Yes, the unit itself is velcroed to the cool side at the ground level to measure cool side temps, and the probe is inside the warm side hide to measure the warm side temps.

so you put the unit at ground level on the wall?

not like towards the top of the cage?

and should i have my lights setup (what i had before all of this) still on in the tank since the UTH takes a while to heat up?

No, not towards the top of the cage - you're measuring ground level temps, since ball pythons are ground dwelling.

Keep an eye on temps, if it gets too hot with the lights, turn them off.
