So basically, if I want my air temps to be at 89 degrees Fahrenheit, I set my thermostat to 89 degrees. My probe is right where the heat pad conducts its heat. The probe reads 89 no problem, and my thermostat is proportional. Only problem is that the surface temps become 105 or so... Is this suitable for my boa? Thanks guys.
Cheers.

You will not be able to achieve the air temps you want in your setup...
A UTH is designed to heat a surface area for a specimen to lay on.
If you want to affect the air temps from a heat source what you want is a source that has radiant heat emission... like a CHE or a heat panel. They will heat a spot directly under them (a basking spot) as well as affecting air temps through heat radiance.
