    You got it right.

    Unit on cool side, probe on warm side.

    Or, theres a post that shows you how to mod it so that the inside temp and the humidity sensors are on wires too. So you can put one lead on the hot side and one on the cool side and hang the humidity one any where in there, and the thermometer can stay out of the tub/tank. I do that with mine and works great!

    Yup, that's how I do it. Set the unit on the cool side and run the wire with the probe over to the warm side. Just make sure you put the probe all the way under the substrate right on top of the plastic/glass.

    That mod's pretty cool saber2th, but I'd personally be a bit intimidated trying to do something like that (even though I'm sure it's not quite as hard as it looks) :P

    i actually use a temp gun to monitor temps so the probe & that attached cord really served no purpose for my set up and actually posed an entanglement risk so i snipped it off. mine gives me a pretty good humidity reading & displays the time.
    i have my accu-rite unit mounted to the back glass in the middle of my terrarium using velcro.
    wish i could post pics but my camera is currently M.I.A... :tears:

    I velcro mine to the side as well. It keeps it from getting knocked over and damaged by feces/urine. For the excess probe wire, I used a fake rock water bowl flipped upside down to cover it, plus it provides something to rub on for sheds. If you are using a tub, you can just run the wire out the top, around, and back in on the warm side, and all of the excess wire is outside of the tub...

    I am going to try that!
