Just like heating any of your herps you need to go by what temp they produce for you as per wattage of a bulb. What temp is the UTH making? By tubular I am assuming it is a flourescent fixture and they are not meant for heat, just light. Lights of any sort are gonna dry out the enclosure more than a BP wants so if the UTH is getting good temps I would stick with it. Is it on a rheostat? I don't like the Zoo Meds as I have had them get too hot moreso than others. In a tank I would also make a humid hide for your BP, as the tank won't hold humidity.
