Hey guys
About to get my Pro-products RHP in the mail this week, to put in my pvc enclosure. I had a few questions..
a) First, my herpstat probe is currently stuck between my 20 gal glass tank and the sticky UTH.. Despite reading that it was okay to leave the paper on the UTH, I did not heed this warning and now I realize I have wasted $50 on a UTH that will be stuck on that 20 gal forever. My question is.. when I finally move my girl into the pvc enclosure, how would I go about removing the herpstat probe (which is foil taped to the glass bottom) and the sticky side of the UTH is covering everything.
Is there a way to remove the probe (when the time comes) without damaging the UTH? I heard if you pull it the uth off after sticking it, it will create hot spots in the future. Im going to have to buy a new uth for a new hatchling I am buying anyways, so I guess in the future I wont be stupid enough to take the paper off the sticky side of the UTH.
and b) My pvc enclosure has vents at the back at the top left and right. My RHP should be going on the right side, with the wire trailing out the right vent. My question is... how do I setup a thermostat with an RHP ? Where would I put the thermoSTAT probe? I have a bunch of ground cover (branches, hides, etc) in there in case she wants to climb up and bask. Where would I put the thermoMETER probes? I have three at the moment, so I would like to put one probe at the basking spot, one probe at ground level on the warm side and one probe at ground level on the cool side. Is this correct ?
Cheers & thanks !!
