I just picked up four Boamaster 4'x30"x15" enclosures. Each came with a RBI 40 watt radiant heat panel already installed in the top (the enclosures were used). I figured out how to wire them up and the RHP's all work. I'd like to move my boas into them over the weekend.

Where do you put the probe for the thermostat? Up high? On the floor under the RHP? On the wall closest to the RHP? I'm concerned the boa may shift it while moving around in there.

Also, the RHP seems to get hot, and I read in the FAQ that it gets up to 190*F if unregulated, so it would take a while before being in contact with it would cause a burn. That said, it's still pretty danged hot and boas are rather curious and they investigate everything. Do your boas get close to the heat panel, or do they avoid getting too close to it? I just don't want to see any burned noses.
