Baby Ball Python Setup

[cueball]

can I ask, you didn't attach the UTH to the bottom of the cage, what is it lying on then? I use the rubber feet for my cage as well but I attached the UTH to the bottom because it sits on wood and the darn thing does get hot....I worry about burning

That is a valid concern. Without a control on this particular heat pad it reaches 115 degrees and could effect the finish on wood. I made a pad using aluminum foil for the heat pad to sit on. Make the pad by loosely folding the foil over a few times and you have an excellent heat barrier.

I haven't been using a thermostat but I was packing about 2" aspen on top to avoid too much heat and it seemed to work out

Just be careful as I have seen them submerse under the aspen and be in direct contact with the glass
