Re: UTH question

Yep, as long as you have a thermostat, any suitable substrate ideal for snakes is fine (paper towels, aspen, coconut coir, repti-bark, etc)

The only cautionary adviced I would have is to check for hot spots with the UTH. In my experience based on the UTH design and how it adheres to the enclosure the surface temperature may not be uniform. Depending on the thermostat cycle and location you may have some "hot spots". (Usually not to a dangerous degree.) When using thin substrate I'm however careful to map those with my temp gun.
