You can't use an UTH to raise temps because snakes like to burrow and move stuff out the way which would put them at even hotter temps, so as I said, it's not feasible period. I know you're new and everything, but if you stick around and heed what some of us vets are saying you'll learn a lot.

You get a snake in that kind of temp, no matter what you do, it's going to have issues, food not digesting properly, regurging and you can run into numerous other issues. Some may or may not kill the snake right away, some can. Either way it's not going to live a happy life and as a keeper your job IS to take the best care possible of an animal in your care. You can't do that with what the OP is asking. He'll either kill the snake right away, or he'll make it suffer.
A rhp would raise ambient temps. I use two of them. An uth makes a hot spot. That's what they do. I don't know what you're not understanding with what I said.

I may be new here but I'm not new to keeping bps or life. I don't know what that even has to do with anything or why you're targeting me. If you read what I first said, I never said it would definitely work. If the op is going to get a snake anyway wouldn't you want them to have the best chance at keeping it alive? Or tell them it's impossible and just don't help at all?
