Best way to stick a thermostat box to the side of a viv?

[Booper]

Hi everyone!
This isn't really husbandry-related... more about aesthetics. I have too many thermostats and I want to stick them to the side of my viv to keep them tidy. But I don't know how to stick them on! I've tried blu-tack, and I've tried taping them on with strong black tape but they just pull away after a few hours... I was thinking of using strong velcro: I've seen a kind that people use to velcro tools to walls, and that seems like it should hold up! I'm just wondering if anyone else has any ideas. I'm using wooden vivs.

Thanks!

I used Velcro squares to stick mine on

I've seen other keepers mention some kind of silicon adhesive. Could be another option for you though

Mine's on a hooked suction cup in case I want to move it in the future.

I agree with Quahog and hollowlaughter, if it's temporary you can use the suction cups as they're very easy to get and maintain, and if you're certain where to put it you can use a silicon adhesive (here it's called silicon glue and it's the stuff used to seal aquariums) to stick it since it is very element-resistant and strong once it dries.

Suction cups are terrible on wooden vivariums. I have just removed all sticky tape velcro ect from my viv. I put pics of my viv on here and people weren't happy with tape in with my snake as they could run it and it comes off and sticks to them worse case you could kill you little baby. If your thermostats have a probe you can easily have that in the Viv (drill small hole in wooden case) and then month the actual thermostats outside neatly I used velcro for this. If the have to be internally and permanent (you can remove with glass scraper) then I'd use aquatic safe silicone. It's hard to find I get mine from Amazon. A small blob will hold it even if your snake uses it as something to climb on silicone will hold the weight. If you ever need to remove it a glass scraper with new Stanley blade it will get it off just make sure it's flat and it won't scratch the timber.

Super-glue an anchor on the side, then attach it with a cable tie.

This is an anchor, yes I know they have an adhesive backing but super glue will ensure it doesn't go anywhere: https://www.lowes.com/pd/Utilitech-1...-Ties/50005766

Do they have any holes on the back where you can slide them on a nail? If so, use command hooks.
