Herpstat Question?

[zeke]

Ello,

I finally got my first herpstat I felt like a lil kid on christmas when I got home and it was waitin for me on my desk (gotta say thanks to the misses for the GREAT fathers day gift)..

My question is, Where do I put the probe that came with the herpstat? I have a 3 cage set up.. heres a pic.


Right now I am doin a test run and have the herpstat probe in the center cage on the tile which has the flexwatt under it.. Will that be a good premant home for it? Thanks in advance


Cheers

Directly on the Flexwatt OUTside the cage. There will probably be a gradient from bottom to top, so a central location is best. Or you can just adjust what you set it to so that all are within an acceptable range. I'd try to keep it out of drafts, though.

Those are really nice. I hope the humidity doesn't get to the wood.

All the snakes going in need the same temps, right?

I may be saying nothing you don't know, but that's what I know!

Oh, and congrats on the Herpstat. I can't wait for mine.

Thank you, I have the probe on the middle cage, Yes all same temps... The cages are made from Melamine, the doors are wood. I love the herpstat already
