Your ambient temps ar nice. What I would do is plug the UTH into a rheostat until you get a thermostat. With the ambient temps beeing where they are you should have no problem with heat. Try using the UTH only and see what that does. If that doesnt cut then add the CHE. Let us know if that helps. It will need a close eye and some fine tuning with the rheostat on it. I would highly suggest getting a thermostat as soon as you can. That will make life much easier for you, and better for you snake.
