Red lights are better because they disturb your snake less, but as far as temperature is concerned it shouldn't matter red or blue.

Your snake needs one side of the enclosure to be between 88 and 92 degrees and the other side needs to be between 78 and 82 degrees all the time. How hot is the UTH? And is it regulated by a thermostat?
I haven't gotten a regulator for my Uth yet so I just piled a bit of substrate then his log over it so the heat has a long way to travel before it gets to him.... and I've only been heating the side he sleeps on at night with a blue light and Uth so he and I can sleep. Is that wrong??
