    Ok. The thermostat probe I put between the mat and the tub. The temp probe I placed inside the tub over the uth like you said. I have the Thermostat set to 91 degrees and the temp inside the warm hide is holding 90-91 degrees....cool side is 79 degrees.

    Re: Can I attatch my ZooMed Heat pad directly to tub?

    Its funny, I've never used a thermostat on a uth. They seem to keep a very constant temp. They're designed to be used on the underside of an aquarium and heat through a substrate. I have never heard of a fire from a uth when used properly. Hopefully your thermostat can handle long term constant on position without burning up.

    It's more likely your snake will catch fire from your unregulated UTH

    I have never seen an unregulated ZooMed NOT be over 100F at any given time. You, sir, are either very lucky, very untruthful, or very, very close to disaster.

    I've measured them over 125 degrees before....why am I lucky? what do you plan to catch on fire at 125 degrees? I have never ever seen zoo med or any of the other manufacturers state a max temp for them, never heard of a failure(fire) where they received circulating air flow and never saw a burn on a animal from them where it wasn't in direct contact with them.

    they're designed to stay on. A thermostat is designed to cycle.
