I don’t believe that anyone is trying to dissuade from the use of UTH/heat tape. I personally use heat tape and/or RHPs in my enclosures depending on the species, temperature stratification from floor to ceiling, size and type of enclosure/rack, heating element of the enclosure below, etc.
It ultimately depends on the parameters of your snake keeping environment and how it fluctuates. Those with cooler room temps may need more supplementary heat than those that heat their room when needed, as myself.
Best advice I can offer is to try a few different methods and find works best in in your personal circumstances.
