Uth

I just had this problem too. I got a reostat and I wasted my money on it. I had gotten away with not using a any type of controling device by putting more or less air space between the tub and the uth. But I had to change this every few hours and it was really a pain to keep the temeratures right. I finally said screw this and ordered a ranco and flexwatt from rich at reptile basics. It is on its way now and will really make keeping my snakes much easier and safer. I could recommend getting a ranco. They don't cost as much as some of the proportional thermostats and if your room temeratures fluctuate at all you are going to have a ton of trouble keeping the temps right with a dimmer or reostat.

You've got it all the way on high then. I made the same mistake.

ok i got a zoo med repti temp 500r
where do i put the probe thing.. directly on the glass inside and tape it down

Hi,


We really don't recomend tape inside the enclosure at all as it's just asking for problems.

the best place for the thermostat probe seems to be between the UTH and the bottom of the tank - this stops the snake tiher moving it or p'ing on it and throwing the heating off.

hmmm... ever notice they are called UNDER tank heaters, but are recommended for side mounting??
