Also, the thermostat probe should be on the UTH, the thermometer should be on the inside of the enclosure....

i have already thinned out the substrate. im afraid if i use any less, the snake will burn. i originally had the thermometer in the enclosure but was told to check the temp at the thermostat so started that recently. i will go back to doing that though. ive been setting the thermostat at about 93 but will set it higher based on the fact that its sitting right above the uth. ill keep an eye on the substrate and temp there with the temp gun. Thanks!
