Temp issues after rebedding

[Homebody]

I’m scared to set my UTH much higher than I have it (was at 115° and I had the pre-rebedding temps. Right now it’s at 120° to try and get those temps back). I don’t know what to do…

First, I hearty amen to Lord Sorril's advice. Follow that and your BP should be fine. If you're trying to create a hotspot on top of a thick layer of bedding using a UTH, that's dangerous. To get the temperature on top of the bedding high enough, the temperature on the bottom will have to be too high. Your snake could burrow to get closer to the heat source and get burned. Use only a very thin layer of substrate, or none at all, over the UTH. This will give your BP access to a safe basking spot.
