Accu-Rite probe wires
I have 3 Accu-Rites, and have figured out something annoying about them. Since it is a sin to use tape inside of an inclosure, how am I supposed to keep the probe and probe wires secure to the bottom of the tank? The adhesive that comes on the probe lasts for about 3 days, and then it just flops around. Any tips? I'd really like to hide the wires as much as possible under the aspen bedding.

I use the edge of the hides to hold them down (or whatever is close by, water bowl or something).

Re: Accu-Rite probe wires
I've done that with the probes, but it doesn't always work so well. Is there any way that I can safely use tape or something else inside the tank?

Velcro is an excellent idea that I hadn't thought of.. for some reason. Thanks!

Re: Accu-Rite probe wires
I use low stick painters blue tape. I have used it for years on 30-50 snakes enclosures and have never had a problem. Even if it was to get on a snake it wouldn't stick very well and will come off without doing any harm. I tape the probe to the bottom of the tub over heating element and then put my newspaper over it. I have never had a problem. I am a contractor and use it all the time on many different delicate surfaces. I would never use any normal typr of adhesive tape. I costs alot more than regular tape but one roll lasts along time since you only need a small piece.
