I bought a Bredli the other day. I was told the best place for the UTH is on the side of the tank since they'll spend more time up high than cuddling next to a heat source on the bottom of the enclosure, which also seems to pose a small problem for myself.

She is connected to a thermostat that half of my Balls share for their UTH control, although she is not stacked on the same stand with them with the UTH on the bottom so there is a lot more airflow. My Balls are all stacked so there is less airflow making all their temps stay in the same range as each other (between 88F-92F) rather than my Bredli's UTH which seems to stay at room temp... So with that in mind, I would have to purchase a whole new thermostat system just so I can get her temps right where they need to be. She is also housed in a tank rather than a tub like everyone else...

So, do you think glass over plastic is making my temps lower? Or do I change where the UTH should be (on bottom opposed from on the side)? Or what would you suggest for a better housing situation so my temps could be right? Obviously this is my first time owning an arboreal-like snake LOL. I just don't wanna spend the money to get another thermostat shipped over here if I can find a solution to this problem. Thanks!

And if you wanna see photos of the enclosure so far I can upload some, just ask!
