Pics of Kali's Tub... Need Advice

I like having the thermometer away from the edge of the heat pad. Sort of like in the middle of the heat pad. You will get a better reading IMHO.

How on earth can I put it in the middle of the pad? that is the left side middle of the tub? all in my baby girls way :( But I supposed you are correct.. I need an accurate reading I can't have my blood burn.. My fiance would seen a grown man cry.

Ohh I could do what i think i saw in your pics... which was the thermo on the outside of the tub and just the probe in the middle of the pad correct under the newspaper?

I wouldnt do that because that tub I showed was for my corn snake. They only need a reading of the hot side and cool side, no humidity. You could put the accurite on the cool side, and put the probe in the hide, which looks like the middle.

That's probably where she will spend most of her time too... good idea lol. The reason i set it up like that is because (I BELIEVE YOU DID LOL) someone told me to put the main component on the hot side and probe on the cool side!

you should put the thermometer probe where the snake will be, inside the hide on the warm side.

You could, but in your case it sounds better to do it the other way.

HOLY :cens0r::cens0r::cens0r::cens0r:. I put the main component on the cool side in the far corner and the probe in the middle of the hide (practically the middle of the pad) and the temp hit 100 degrees and appears to be climbing... I immediatly plugged in the dimmer! Now my only problem is in the one spot it is 100 but 4 inches away it was at 84.9. HOW in the heck am im going to know the actual temperature?????? How will know the snake will be ok if it leaves its hide!

just turn the dimmer down until you get the right temp.

HOW in the heck am im going to know the actual temperature when she is not in her hide??????? How will know the snake will be ok if it leaves its hide!
