really a UTH, or any heating element, should be used in combination with a thermostat. sadly this is not the case in with the majority of reptile keepers out there.
anyways, if you have no thermostat you need to measure the temp of your UTH above the glass. this way you will know the exact temperature that your snake will contact if it decides to move the substrate away and sit directly on the glass above the UTH.
