Where should I place the probe?
Hi Everyone,
So I have two heat sources for my enclosure.
I have a heat mat plug in to a tstat (The tstat set to 96 but inside it measure on 89 because it's outside of the cage).
The second heat source which I will get today is CHE which I will also like to plug to a tstat.
But the question is, where should I place the probe of the tstat?
And also, I read that some people use lamp dimmer, How do I use this? In combine with timer/tstat?
Any help will be appreciated.
Thank you!

Id place 1 probe in a cool side hide and the other in the warm side hide.
The tstat goes into the wall, dimmer goes into the tstat and the dome goes into the dimmer

Thermostat probes or any UTH should never go into an enclosure.

The CHE, I would run it of a dimmer but using a thermostat I would have the probe a couple inches off of the ground on the back wall on the same side you have the CHE over.
