Getting a UTH for the cool side will help a great deal with your temps as long as your room temps are constant and don't vary much; otherwise tweaking with the dimmer will drive you crazy.

Like mentioned above, belly's of bps are not very sensitive to pain so its very likely that a snake will burn its belly even when provided with a cooler option..

Good luck tweaking your set up. If I can manage with ambients of 68 you'll figure something out
Yeah I have a good apartment central air / heat thermostat so my temps are very steady. I'm considering just getting a human heating pad that has different heat settings and seeing how that works. And then if needed, I'll get a dimmer or 2nd thermostat for it.

Thanks for clarifying about the underside of your tub. I'll stop looking at those temps completely and just focus on what touches my snake.
