Herpstat Probe Placement on a T8
Should have my BEL delivered in about an hour or so (hopefully), so just doing last minute tweaks in the enclosure.
T8, split in half. Right side has the Mexican Black Kingsnake, left side will have my incoming ball. Obviously, each half is 24"x24".
Opinions on probe placement, if its good there?
The RHP is more towards the front right. I placed the probe in the rear left, about 2.5" off the floor. See pics.
The herpstat is set to 80 degrees... and, right now, after running all night, left cool side says 80 and right side says 87. Humidity after some spraying shows 69% (was higher, but going down now).
All comments and opinions welcomed...
0.1 Mexican Black Kingsnake (Tynee)
0.1 BEL Ball (Luna)
0.1 Sunglow Boa (Pippi Longsnake)
0.1 Woma Python (Uma)
WANT LIST

- Black Milk Snake
- False Water Cobra
- Rhino Rat Snake
- Thai Bamboo Rat Snake
- Western Hognose
- Kenyan Sand Boa

YES!
That's where I've had mine set for six years without problem. (Also running a T8 with an rhp) Given the size of your animal though, I usually aim to have the tip of the probe just slightly above where the top of the BP would be.
Your new buddy should be set. You may want to save yourself paper towel in the future though and pick up some indented Kraft paper however (found on Amazon or Uline). You get a HUGE roll of it that will last you a long time for not much money (at least compared to paper towel prices nowdays).

Certainly don't want that to happen to this girl. Is that from sharp edges maybe?

Good to know, thanks. I will look into that, and probably pick up a roll. Ultimately I want to use Reptichip, which I have a ton of, but initially want the paper. But, good to have it all on-hand.

IMO i would place the probe more towards the center divider closer to the RHP. it would allow for a more accurate reading near the heat source.
Edit1: also post more pix of your new 0.1 BEL when u get the chance. she's a pretty gurl.
Edit2: are u wearing a G-Shock? i own a few. those are the best!

Re: Herpstat Probe Placement on a T8
Personally, I'd place the probe as low as possible so you have an accurate reading/temp where your BP actually is. Since your probe is higher, the temp on the floor might be higher than you want it to be.
