    UTH Heater Doesn't Get Hot?

    I'm pretty new to keeping reptiles and when I got my first snake (a milk snake) 1.5 years ago I planned on using a UTH. I got the ZooMed UTH and I remember it getting slightly warm but barely doing anything for the tank's temperature. So I went with a heat lamp instead and haven't had any...
