Thanks SO much to those who have helped us so far on getting our appropriate set-up for Sammy.

Our Helix DBS 1000 arrived today--so fast!--from Reptile Basics, hurray! I'm getting it set up and have a question. I've read that you should measure the temp inside the warm-side hide. But the instructions on the thermostat say to place the probe where it will not be in direct contact with the animal because the animal can influence the reading.

So..... where am I really supposed to put it? lol

Thanks for helping a hopelessly clueless newbie.
