Buying another thermometer isn't going to do much for you other than tell you what you likely already know. What you want to get is a thermostat. Basically, it's a piece of equipment that your UTH connects to (between itself and the wall outlet). It has a probe of its own connected to it that you put in direct contact to the UTH so that it can control its temperature. Without one, that UTH is likely creating temps in excess of 110°F directly on the glass where it's attached (obviously, WAY too hot). Once you have that setup correctly, then you shouldn't have to worry about overheating your new addition.
EDIT: Just a point of clarification for you also - it's not the bedding that you want at the right temp - it's the floor of the enclosure. BPs like to "rearrange" things and will inevitably make it to the floor. You want them to be safe when they do.
