UTH won't stick

[SRMD]

I have read many conflicting opinions about the probe being in the enclosure or not...I understand and see great arguments for each side

It seems to make sense to have the probe on the inside so i know what the temperature is, where the snake would be, why would I want to measure the temperature of the outside. Im assuming there is issues with correct temperature measurements.

If your Snake rests on top of the probe it could feed back incorrect temps to the t-stat I believe.

Also your snake could go to the bathroom over the probe damaging it, causing it to give incorrect temps back to the t-stat.

Having it on the outside would give me peace of mind. I had done this for 3 years and never had a single problem.

When I put thermometer probes into my snakes warm side hide, if he lay on top of them it would always tell me the temp is much higher than what it was.
