    Its set up just like you explained.
    I control the CHE & Heat Mat with Dimmers from LOWES. ($14.99). I use a Probe thermometer over the glass where UTH is (under substrate) and have the thermometer it self on the other end for ambiant & Humidity of cool side. I use a 60 watt which has me at 78-82 and the UTH at 88-90. Humidty is 55% as i use Duraplex Plexy glass over the screens from lowes and Cardboard around 3 sides along with a Dish Towel over the top to help insulate the Plexy.
    If you divide your enclosure (more like the size of 10G's ) you'll only be running those dimmers 3/4 throttle with a 60 watt depending on your room temps. Its a great way not to spend $195 on a Herpstat 2 for now which is what I run for my Display Enclosures with RHP & UTH.
    While I use dimmers myself, I would never ever recommend anybody run two heat sources with both being on dimmers. It's a recipe for disaster if one fails. Also with the snake only having a limited space to move, if one does fail, they won't be able to escape the heat.
