You could always try a light dimmer as an immediate fix for the UTH being to hot...just dial it in to a more appropriate temp. However, this is just until you can get a thermostat. I purchased a hydrofarm thermostat of Amazon for the UTH on my tank, and it seems to be running fine...I've had my BP for almost 2 years. I really need to weigh/measure him...but that's another topic. Anyways, a dimmer you should be able to find locally until you can get a thermostat shipped to you.
