Usually at the substrate since that is where the snakes are. You want their level. So point it down on the glass so the point almost touches the substrate. And remember NEVER put anything sticky in your tank. No tape, Velcro...ect. Use hot glue or silicone. And if you use silicone you must remove everything from the tank and let dry 24-48 hours.

*~* Nothing sticky (tape, stick on gauges, Velcro) goes into your enclosure! Again...NOTHING sticky goes into your enclosure....EVER! *~*

Pretty horrible pictures of what tape can do to a snake if you want to see. Yet people still use sticky back tape and companies still sell items that use it. Do your thermometers have a hygrometer integrated in for humidity?

Re: Digital themometor questions
Right on, good to hear. I know the lack of support you have had, just wanted to clarify on the humidity. Sounds like your going in the right direction.

Just realised that hygrometor has velcro on it going to tear it down and take the velcro off and place it on ground

You already mentioned getting a digital hygrometer, but I just figured I'd follow up...
Those dial style analogs can be wildly inaccurate, up to 15% from what I understand. So if you're reading 65% your humidity could be anywhere from 50-80%. So you're definitely on the right track planning on getting a new one.
Everything else looks good to me!
