    All UTH's MUST be regulated by a thermostat. without a thermostat UTH's can and will get hot enough to kill your snake if they are not regulated. (130+ F) Here are some good thermostats, stay away from the junk sold in pet stores. They are overpriced and do not work well.

    Keep in mind that UTH's do NOT increase the temperature of the air inside a cage. This means that if the temperature of the room drops below 75 degrees you will need a heat lamp to increase the air temperature (preferably to 80 degrees). I would recomend an infrared heat lamp so it can be used 24/7 without bothering you or the snake.
