In the wild the temps do drop, but that doesn't mean that this is necessarily good for the snake. Snakes in the wild are very sluggish by morning, and that is because they aren't warm enough and need to heat up by being in the sun. If they could, I'm sure every snake would prefer that their air temperatures stayed warm 24/7.
Also, snakes get warm through the ambient temperatures whether they have belly heat or not. Having a UTH in addition to a CHE is much preferred.
