A thermostat will not force it higher. It will do the opposite...keep the UTH at an appropriate temperature so that the snake won't burn itself when lying above it. As to whether it will keep your ambient at 85, that depends on your room temp and setup. Low tubs are easier to heat than glass tanks, for example. A UTH may be able to manage a tub but is unlikely to manage a 20g aquarium.
