Sorry man, that sucks. They advertise on this site tho.

Somebody told me about it when I was putting together a "checklist" of stuff I needed before I had my first BP delivered. Works quite well and I am very happy with it.

Put the thermometer probe below the substrate, directly on the glass, and either have the hide hold it down or use a dab of hot glue on the glass and attach it that way. You would then have the temperature of the glass and know that the temperature on the substrate will be a couple degrees lower. Depending on what and how much substrate

Hi,

Bear in mind in the initial setup phase you are going to want to be able to move the probe about to check the temps at various points.

On top of the substrate inside the warm end hide, ditto in the cool end hide at a bare minimum.

Once you have it adjusted you only really need it make sure it doesn't change.
