care sheets are not reliable.

you dont need a light either.

If you need your cold side temps up for some reason I would use a ceramic heat emitter, but lights will suck humidity and stress out your snake.

No need for night drops at all.


I hope you have a thermostat on your UTH.

You want your cold side no lower than 78, 80-82 is fine. 85 is a little on the high side. Doubtful you need a heat source at all unless your AC is on 75 or lower.
