Hello all,
I haven't gotten my ball python just yet, but I'm trying to get an enclosure ready. I've been doing some research but I'm still a little confused on the heating. I know this is one of the most important parts so I want to make sure I'm doing it right. I am using a plastic bin with a UTH and thermostat. I was confused about where to put the probe but recently learned that I put it between the UTH and enclosure? I initially thought I would put in inside the enclosure. Also would I need any other heat source? I'm not sure if the UTH just heats up the spot it touches or actually warms up the cage? I live in an apartment and the temp normally stays in the 70s.

Thanks in advance!
and any other advice is appreciated as well!
