    What kind of tape?

    What kind of tape you use to secure probe on bottom of substrate on top of the glass. Can you use regular tape, like blue tape or electrical tape and so on?

    No tape! use a hot glue gun to glue it down. Never ever EVER use tape inside the enclosure.

    I second the no tape!

    I learned a very sad and tragic lesson from they when i caught a few baby Garter snakes as a kid that i tried to keep for a while.
