Hi,

Just to point out if you do that the humidity certainly wouldn't work accurately and I can't say I would be all that confident of the temperature either. :)

Okay, Humphrey's tank has a similar device. It's an Oregon Scientific and on the warm side I have it just above the substrate and is held in place by 3M Velcro. It transmits digitally the temp and humidity every 45 seconds to my nightstand along with another remote sensor at the cool end of the tank.

Drawback - Humphrey loves to get off the bottom of the tank at night and cruise above hence ALWAYS knocking the sensor off the Velcro - which of course means re-attaching it each time. It does work though. But for less obtrusive looks and maintenance I would suggest the following...

On the Suriname Redtail's tank and the wifey's scorpion tank we have them monitored by Exo-Terra's. The scorp has just one temp and humidity and the redtail two temps and one humidity. The Exo's deliver and constant digital read out and the temp probe heads are really small - about a third of the diameter of a pencil. The actual unit itself is small too and fits right into the canopy it is made for and also displays low and max temps and humidity. The best place for prices on these that is HALF what Petsmart or the like carries them for is retilesupply.com. They are pretty hard to beat!

Whatever you go with like noted before NO TAPE IN TANKS!
