Howdy,
I just got a herpstat and am going to set up a tank enclosure as soon as I get a couple of hours to get it all right. I have found several threads about where to place the probe for several different situation (flexwatt, tubs, for lamps) but I was hoping to get an exact answer on how to do this for my set up.

It is a tank with a zoomed uth already stuck to the bottom as the only source of heat. The overhead light is one of those 13 watt economical bulbs and provides little, if any additional heat. I am currently thinking attach the probe to the bottom of the uth with packaging tape, between the table and the uth. I have read this setup will cause temp swings on the t-stat monitor but I do have a solid temp gun so I can monitor belly temps. I am worried about the stability of the probe. Glue seems like it would melt and I dont know if foil tape conduct too much heat or something.

Sorry for yet another probe placement question...
