So, before I knew that generally people put the thermostat probe under the tank in between the UTH and glass I sorta... stuck the UTH on already... this was not recently, and I had not even joined the forum yet.
Now my t-stat probe is IN the enclosure, because I was afraid of peeling the UTH back and damaging it, and resting under some heavier décor right above the center of my heat mat because I was ALSO worried about hot glue not actually being safe (even though I've read it is). The wire is run under other objects (not squished of course, but enough to keep it down) so that there really isn't any way to slither over it. But this still really concerns me... you never know what could happen.
Should've posted this thread earlier but I thought it would be okay and I was really nervous about criticism since I was new. But I'm second guessing myself and I want the best for my snake... so what do I do? Any help is appreciated.
