Help with UTH's

[Vader6]

I'm getting some heat pads for my snakes today or tomorrow and I need some info on them.
Just about how I would make the sure the heat is at the correct temperature (I've read posts about something called an "Accurite"?), If I should leave them on 24/7, how I would keep the humidity up, and any other info you might think is usefull.

I'm new when it comes to ball pythons so I'll be asking questions when ever I need help.

Acu-Rite is a thermometer that is awesome to have. Measures 2 areas and humidity. Can get them at Wal-Mart for $12.
Leave the UTH on all the time
U will need a thermostat, I have a rtheostat and it didn't work that great and so I added a dimmer to that, but the UTH is just so inconsistant so you I ordered the Repti-Temp 500R for my thermostat. Keeps the UTH or lamp on or off to keep the temps where u want them.
As for humidity you need a water bowl pretty good size and if your running a lamp you need a big ass one and maybe some misting might be needed.
For more infor on what you need.......
