    Uth not sticking properly
    Ok, this driving me crazy. Look at how much is not touching the glass which means it's not a proper hit spot for belly heat. What do I do? You can see the air pocket from the probe.https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...b2299dc092.jpg

    You could try to use aluminum foil tape to secure it down.

    I have it taped. It still is doin this which is now pointless having belly heat. And I can't put her tank back together until I know how to fix it.

    Alumnum foil tape is stronger than... what are you using, packaging tape? It looks clear. If it's packaging tape then I'm not surprised it's not holding. Even duct tape would be a better option.

    honestly, you're better off replacing it. there's better options available to you.

    look into RBI UltraTherm heat mats. you use aluminum tape to adhere them and can use, reuse and move them around as many times as you please.

    I would leave it fro now, your girl will be fine, even in blue. If she ate within the last few days I might bump the ambient up, but if she's not digesting she won't miss the belly heat.

    I would try the aluminum tape tomorrow if you don't have any handy. Then you can still upgrade when/if you want to.
