    High 60s is really cold for a BP, especially if it happens every night. The poor thing will have to chose between frigid cold and too hot.

    The UTH does nothing for ambient temperatures, and the halogen clearly isn't doing enough. You need another solution.

    I'll tell you what I tell every new snake keeper. Toss the UTH and get a ceramic heat emitter (CHE). Plug that into your thermostat, set the probe correctly, fiddle with the settings a bit and, viola, you'll have a consistent temperature gradient appropriate for a BP.

    Also humidity is a bit low at 40%, Might want a bigger water bowl or even a second water bowl.

    Don't be afraid to ask questions, and don't listen to just me. There are lots of very experienced people on this forum that I learn from. We want to help.

    Any special kind of BP you're looking to get?
