    i think you're confusing thermoMETER with a thermoSTAT. a thermoMETER just measures temperature, a thermoSTAT regulates a heat source and does so using a probe connected to the thermoSTAT.

    you NEED a thermoSTAT with a UTH: they can reach over 100° easily and quickly and kill your snake. burns are not a matter of IF but WHEN with an unregulated UTH. here is an amazon link to an affordable thermostat or you can run to a home improvement store and pick up a lamp dimmer for ~$15. PLEASE unplug the UTH and get something regulating it ASAP. a snake will be fine without belly heat for a day or two if the ambient temperatures are within proper range.
