I could put a CHE on top but that would be too much. I mean it's only a 10gl so there isn't a lot of hight.
what are you using to measure that temp? That is really low for an unregulated UTH. They usually run at around 120 or so if left to their own bidding. You need to regulate that thing or you may severly burn your snake. They will and do burrow under mulch
