hello everyone,

i ordered a ranco tstat and UTH from rich@reptile basics which should be here soon, but my question to all the members on here with glass tank setups..is where would the suggested place be to put the tstat probe at? i've read other threads and they all mention users taping the probe directly to the flexwatt..but in my case im using a UTH with a 20 gal tank..ive seen some users say that they tape the probe inside of the tanks floor directly above the UTH/flexwatt and lay a thin layer of substrate down..but other members say that its not good to have the probe inside because the snake might move it or it may get wet..but isnt the inside temp what i want to monitor and not the outside?..so i need any and all information anyone has to offer regarding probe placement for a glass tank.

oh i've also read the sticky for the glass tank setup and saw the way that the probe was setup but i dont think that would be a good idea to have a probe dangling inside the habitat..:/

thanks in advance.
