Why do some people suggest a Ceramic Heater bulb, UTH, and red bulb on cool side? Won’t that be too much heat for the snake?

Anyone who uses heat on the cool side is most likely living in a cold environment. One of my snakes is still in a tank (gaining weight before the switch), and I only use an UTH, because I keep my room 80-85degrees, which maintains the ambient temp in the tank.
I'm no expert, but in my opinion, you're doing fine.
