Not true. I have a large collection of balls that I keep totally on ambient heat. 84-88 degrees.
Honest, I only need one more ...

it's not true, they just need enough heat to properly digest. the easiest way to achieve proper hot-spot temps is with belly heat (UTH), but it's not the only way to accomplish a proper hot-spot temp, like JodanOrNoDan mentioned above.

Re: Water snakes and Belly Heat :/
Also...I have a thermostat(the Hydrofarm Jumpstart) and I cant get it to stay on. It keeps shutting off :/ Any insight would be good as I cannot find anything online to help

turning off as in losing power completely, or turning off as in it's reached its targeted temperature and it cuts power to the UTH?

As in that it's reached its target temp. Basicly the small red light turns off. Does that turn its heat off or is it still outputting heat? Im asking because its on a glass tank and when i feel the inside it dosent feel warm at all

it is stopping any power output to the device that's connected to it, so yes the heat is turned off. those thermostats operate in an on/off style: full power or no power, with a 2° ∆ (delta; this means the device waits for the temperature to be 2° above or below the target temp before switching off/on.).
you might need to up the temperature set on the thermostat. what's the temperature reading at the bottom of the enclosure above the UTH?

I'll have to get back to you on that. Im not at home right now and all my heating things are shut off. Right now I dont have a probed thermometer just an Accurite thermometer that has the humidity and air temp

that's okay. i'd recommend getting a probed thermometer or an infrared temperature gun, otherwise you're just guessing your hotspot temperature (no beuno!)

Okay,Ill do that Oh, and its hooked up to a 1-5 gallon zoomed heat mat
