Thank you for the fats response I will set down a paper towel when I feed it as for the UTH I use both lamp and UTH I check I often on temperature and turn off lamp if needed I might only use UTh now but the problem is I need to increase heat of the heat pad I want to get a zilla rheostat the one that controls temp and shuts off if it gets to hot but the problem is I have a screen top that slides and if I place the probe that means there will be a place for the python to get out which is a problem so I'm kind of stuck right now I don't know what to do
