    Mounting Equipment For Wires Inside Enclosure
    As I prepare for the arrival of my RHP, I'm trying to make a list of all the modifications I'll need to make to my PVC enclosure. I was wondering what everyone uses to secure the wires (thermometer / hygrometer) inside the cages. Currently I have a digital thermometer on each side of the enclosure (one to read warm side floor temps and the other to read ambient temps & measure humidity). My plan is to drill a hole in the back of the pvc and route the wires through but was wondering the best way to secure wires so they are not just hanging loosely in the cage. I seem to remember seeing a picture where someone had some small mounting hardware.

    Also, is it recommended to seal the holes once the wires are routed through?

    These and super glue gel but in super small amounts or else you get lovely white streaks everywhere :O

    I found hot glue does not work and silicon is like using silly putty - no bueno. What works was a super small dab of super glue on these things after taking the adhesive backing off them

    Now that is just a link to the item, not THE link to buy them, you can get them at lowes or home depot

    Note: This is a permanent solution. Once you super glue these, they ain't coming off for anything!

    That's kind of what I was looking for. The other one I saw was the same concept but it was attached to the enclosure w/ a screw. Appreciate it!

    I've never bothered sealing the holes as long as they're small enough that a snake can't escape through them.

    There are very small plastic conduit clamps and cord organizers that you can easily install to keep the probe and power cord tucked up out of the way.
