Can I attatch my ZooMed Heat pad directly to tub?

Ok. The thermostat probe I put between the mat and the tub. The temp probe I placed inside the tub over the uth like you said. I have the Thermostat set to 91 degrees and the temp inside the warm hide is holding 90-91 degrees....cool side is 79 degrees.

Its funny, I've never used a thermostat on a uth. They seem to keep a very constant temp. They're designed to be used on the underside of an aquarium and heat through a substrate. I have never heard of a fire from a uth when used properly. Hopefully your thermostat can handle long term constant on position without burning up.

Funny, I was going to say the same thing about your unregulated UTH...

It's more likely your snake will catch fire from your unregulated UTH

I have never seen an unregulated ZooMed NOT be over 100F at any given time.:confused::confused: You, sir, are either very lucky, very untruthful, or very, very close to disaster.

I've measured them over 125 degrees before....why am I lucky? what do you plan to catch on fire at 125 degrees? I have never ever seen zoo med or any of the other manufacturers state a max temp for them, never heard of a failure(fire) where they received circulating air flow and never saw a burn on a animal from them where it wasn't in direct contact with them.

they're designed to stay on. A thermostat is designed to cycle.
