Tape in the enclosure is a bad idea because they can easily get stuck to it. When you get your thermostat, place the probe directly on the UTH OUTSIDE the enclosure. This makes sure that the snake can't mess with it or move it off the UTH. If the probe is moved off the UTH it will spike, cooking the snake.
Ok that is true. I will look for a tstat at the show. Im sure they got one there.. They got everything else there lol.

Also i got one dimmer switch that is controlling the UTH and lamp. So if i were to get another dimmer switch it would have to be just as long of a wait as the tstat.

So what imma do is look for a tstat at the show pick one up. Hook that up to the UTH. Now the thing is the UTH is already stuck to underside of cage (dont look at me i didnt do it )

So how should i place the probe?
