Thanks for this post! It helped tremendously. I have a few questions on some stuff I already purchased. I have the ZooMed UTH so it doesn't have a slot for the temperature probe (I got the Hydrofarm Tstat). Should I place it in the tank on the bottom?

ZooMed supplied little rubber feet (along with the UTH) to attach to the bottom of the tank to lift it, but I have it on a wooden surface and I'm afraid that won't be enough airspace. I don't have racks since I only have the one snake. Is it a fire hazard in general and/or with this setup to use a UTH? Fire hazards are my worst fear and almost kept me from getting a BP but she was so darn cute I couldn't help it

Thanks!
