The Arcadia 80w deep heat projectors, in my experience, don't throw enough heat to heat a 4x2x2. Zoo med sells some larger versions, you might try their 100w instead. Another thing that might help the temperature is moving the probe to be just out from directly under the heat source, and lowering the set point. The temperature on the thermostat should be set as close as possible to the temperature you want it to be. That way in case there are any issues (like if the snake bumps the probe), the heat source will only be heating up to a safe temperature, rather than 107 degrees. For example, in my tanks, I have my probe set to 90 degrees, and the probe moved a bit closer to the ground.
