You should really have a thermostat to control that (you can get a cheaper on/off kind for ~$30), and failing that, at least a lamp dimmer and thermometer with probe (but you will be in there several times a day adjusting it if the room temps aren't extremely stable). If you do not have a thermometer on the hot spot, or any kind of regulation, unplug it until you do, your BP will be better off with too little heat, than too much.
i have a strip thermom about 4" above the UTH and the snake doesnt seem to mind, she is there alot, in fact she is there right now
