    Burrowing ontop of UTH in aspen

    My ball Stryker just became the new recipient of a UTH (zoo med UTH), and I was wondering if it is safe for him to be burrowing ontop of the UTH. It's placed right under his hide and he likes to burrow down in his hide to lay in the aspen. Is that safe for him to do with the UTH right under him? (It is on a t-stat that is set to 95 degrees). Thanks!

    So long as it's controlled and at the proper temp, there is no problem at all.

    If it is being regulated by a thermostat than yes it is fine. 95 won't hurt your snake but any higher can.

    Yup, he should be fine if the UTH keeps it at 95 I have all my guys on aspen bedding and they usually move the bedding out of the way anyways, so as long as you keep it at the right temp no worries.
