Ok so I just got a UTH at Petsmart and I wanted to know a few questions. Right now I'm testing to see how hot it gets, and right now it's at 101F. My snake is with me right now, not in the enclosure. I felt on top of the substrate to see if it was warm but it wasn't warm at all. The thermometer probe is between the UTH and the substrate at the bottom of the enclosure on the warm side. Would it be safe to put my BP in the enclosure, since it's reading how hot the UTH is but not sure how hot it is on top but I will test that in a minute. And also, if your supposed to have it at 92F, and the top of the substrate is not even warm, how do you expect the UTH giving the snake body heat to digest a meal? I have to leave in a few minutes, and I will unplug the UTH and put back the lamp just to be on the safe side. My girl does have a cool end and a water dish that I just cleaned and put new water in 5 minutes ago. She normally hangs out at the cooler end anyway, so should I not put her in anyway?
