Thanks...

I guess I should throw this one in while I'm asking.
Right now I'm using a human heat pad that slides nicely underneath the tank. I'd like to use an additional heat source for night time... what's the best choice for this?
thanks again in advance!

All of my boas are heated with flexwatt heat tape, which is similar to your UTH. I would recommend sticking with the UTH. If your temps are correct with the UTH by itself then I would scrape the heat lamp, that will only dry things out and will probably result in your humidity dropping quite a bit.

Hope that helps abit,
