If it helps Herpstat thermostats recommend inside the terrarium just on top of UTH. If you don't want that they recommend between the UTH and glass.

Putting the thermostat prob inside enclosure for heat pad is a bad idea. First you would need to put it under substrate. Snake can move it and give false readings causing it to over heat. Snake can urinate on it also csuding false readings.

As mentioned in another post, there is an increased risk with a probe inside on the cage floor due to inaccurate readings from urates or spilled water on the probe. While it can be done, many of us would not risk the potential burns that can result from lower than accurate readings.

👆 that right there.
There are too many variables inside any enclosure to have a probe that is regulating an UTH inside the enclosure.
Fluids can give false readings and your thermostat is going to adjusts to what the probe is telling it.
Its really not that complicated to correctly set up any heating source and use a temperature gun to spot check.
