Im sorry for all the questions, but i just wasnt aware until today that an uth without a thermostat could be dangerous, they dont tell you that when they sell you a "ball python kit" and i feel really bad because my snakes could have been hurt bc of that
pry up a corner of that UTH and get the probe between it and the tank, then just use aluminum tape and tape the corner you pulled off back to the tank. Done lol.

those kits are a joke and a quick buck for the store. You are on the right track now though, it'll get easier lol.
