Your UTH is ONLY for a warm spot to lay and does almost nothing for ambient temperatures when properly regulated.
You have 3 temperatures to worry about: cool side surface, hot side surface and ambient.
Thank you for your time! I didn't reply to you because I just know you've answered these questions a few hundred times already. So what would you recommend for the three? Should the ambient be 90, or should the hot side surface be 90? It seems like a lot of guides say the snake needs a basking spot of 90 and it always confused me because a lot of people on forums say they don't need a basking spot necessarily and that they actually need sufficient belly heat. Again thank you for your time and I'm sorry for my noob questions.
