Ok, so I buy a UTH (it's so weird typing abbreviations - "legalease" is never abbreviated - but I like abbreviations - much shorter) - which I plan on.

What materials may be placed above said UTH and how do I properly regulate the heat emitted from same?

I'm glad you like her name She is black with brownish markings (probably just a normal little python) but I don't care - she's Banana.
