Yup Yup I got one of those but at the moment I would feel its a VERY bad idea since our summers reach in the 100's and the tank can stay in the 80's with her light off (if its high) and light on goes in the 80's 90's I can let it reach higher but with her in the water dish at the moment I think shes a little warm lol (soon will be putting on the night light)

Yup Yup!! Which I will be looking into that closer to winter, due to the cold and where we live it can reach Freezing temperatures, and the last thing I want is her to freeze or be cold

Reason I ask is that UTH's absolutely need a thermostat to control the heat as these can easily burn your snake (even through substrate). I didn't know about regulating UTHs when I first got into snakes and I was lucky nothing ill came of it. If it's off right now I'd look into picking up a thermostat for when cooler weather hits (or at least a lamp dimmer in the meantime) so you're prepared.
Edit: you guys type faster than me.

XD Sorry I am pretty fast to typing in School like Grade 4 we were taught how to type with out looking at the keyboard, and yea the control on I am looking at is one Anya suggested controls the temperature of the UTH so I wont have to constantly check it.

Good. ^_^ Tell me, is your house staying in the low/mid-80's during the day? Because if it is, I would turn your lamp off during the day. It might be getting too warm in there for her. Low/Mid 80's are fine temperatures for bp's, though, without any supplemental heat. If it drops into the 70's at night, I would turn that lamp back on then.

^^ hehe and people say I don't listen, =P
Um yes, we live in a Desert technically and when I brought her home it was rather warm in the house, I put on her light due to her being able to feed to find it I know they smell but I think light would help better since they see in heat sources, Umm Tomorrow her light will be on its to be like 92 with rain, Depends on how cold it becomes after the rain I may put her light on and close her area to keep in the heat, I will however keep an eye on her, My working station (Seamstress) is rate beside her.
I also have the UTH heater monitor you gave me in my amazon account to purchase for later X3
