In a tub, it's best to heat the room to proper temps, but with some modification you could put a CHE or RHP in it. Just takes a lot more planning to make sure it doesn't melt the plastic, since both heat stronger than a heat lamp.
Although temps can drop during the night I wouldn't let the room get below 80F on heat tape/pad only. Ambient heaters can increase the temps a lot easier, so mid- to low-70's at night shouldn't be a problem with a CHE or RHP.

Those were guesses but where my ball python is, the temp is up to 86F. Chilly night but really warm up here. It's generally constant at 80F during the night (I'm a night owl myself). I can easily replicate these temps in the room next to me. After Quarantine, the boa will be in the same area. Would that be okay with just the UTH?

As long as it's in the 80's you're golden.
