A UTH isn't necessary for the cool side, if the warm side isn't sitting at 85-87° consistently then I would blame a faulty UTH or one that is too small. What size is the viv, and what is the size of the UTH?
Even if the cool side dips dramatically, as long as the warm side is in the mid-upper 80s the snake will find his happy place.
And tight fitting hides are best. They like to feel something on their sides and back while they are in the hides. If a hide is a little large, a piece of crumpled up newspaper or paper towel in there with him will make him feel more secure.
Keep us posted, I am interested to see how this pans out.
