No I don't have anything that reads the actual temp above the UTH, so I will definitely unplug it until I can get a probe and a thermostat.Originally Posted by Kaorte
If you don't have a digital thermometer probe sitting above the UTH hot spot, unplug it. Are you using a thermostat to control the output of the UTH? If not, unplug it.
It's hard to tell what kind of thermometers you are using. Are they digital or analog (those round stick on ones with the needle)? This matters a lot because digital thermometers are much more accurate.
It is very possible that your tank is hotter than what those thermometers are telling you.
Not trying to beat you up here, just trying to make sure your little snake is a-ok!
But until I can, all I have for a source of heat besides the UTH is an overhead lamp and I turn it off at night so I don't stress my snake out. So should I just keep the light on at all times to make sure it's warm enough until I can get everything I need to use the UTH properly?
I know, I really appreciate all of your answers 😊 trust me, I want what's best for her too, that's why I'm asking and finding out anything I'm doing wrong.
