Having a proper thermostat makes things much easier, as you rarely even have to look at the temps in the tank. For the most part its a set and forget type of thing. Obviously you have a peak at your thermometer once or twice daily, but after having my thermostat (Herpstat for the win) I haven't needed to adjust anything other than the odd misting in about a month.
Dion @ Spyder Robotics makes some great products, now even more so.
The Herpstat 1 ($119?) actually has a humidity control option that you can hook up to a humidifier.
**Also I have the same UTH as you, and trust me, they get hot. Unregulated I lasered mine (and confirmed with my Herpstat as a test) it got up to 114 degrees.
**No I did not have my snake in the tank at the time.
