Do me a favor and move all the substrate except for 1/4" off the UTH and place your probe right on the glass over the UTH. Not in the middle of the substrate, right on the glass.

Your snake will eventually figure out that it can move the substrate around to get warmer and it will do this. You need to measure the hottest point in the enclosure that the snake can possibly get to.

I have seen people make these mistakes before and end up with belly burns. I understand living in a cold house, I am in Chicago and I grew up in Michigan. I know how cold it can get inside. That being said, you do not need a crap load of lamps. One correct wattage light on the cool side of the tank should be enough to keep the ambient temp of the tank above 75*F.
it gets to 93 ... its a zoo med 10 to 20 gallon uth that sticks to the tank.. lol i have done this and i know he digs does it all the time... i even held my hand right on the bottom of the cage over the uth... it was hot but i could hold my hand on it all day.. and i am very sensitive to heat lol i prefer cold over heat anyday... so belly burns they might be possible if i have a light on right over where the uth is.... but it made it clear never to do this... so i dont plan to... lol anyways ima go check the dirt see if it dry yet...

not tryn to argue with u guys just tryn to make it clear that i check all the possible angels on this that i know of.... but atm nothing working and my snake is out of his cage like i sed next to a space heater and on a human heating pad.... <<<worst place for him imo sides the freezer
