I don't bother with an UTH. Since CHEs create various temperature basking spots (if you place climbing structures underneath or around the area the CHE covers, they'll heat up to different temperatures), you don't really need a heat pad with a CHE. That allows the snake more natural behaviors, such as climbing a bit to reach the hot spots created by the CHE, etc.
(if you can't tell i've been doing research for a future russian rat snake and might already have enclosure ideas in mind. it's waaaaaay, waaaaay in the future for me. still, might as well share knowledge if you have it)
