Hello all,

I'm trying to figure out where to place my new Flukers Thermo-Hygrometer. I may have bought the incorrect type of thermometer as it doesn't have a probe. I have a ReptiTemp 500r and it's probe is right on top of the UTH (on the inside of the tank on the glass). Right now, I have the thermometer laying in the tank right about the probe for the ReptiTemp 500r. I don't want to mount it to the tank wall as I'm afraid it won't be giving me the temperature of where the snake will be laying, but rather the ambient air temperature wherever I place the thermometer.

Should I have bought a thermometer with a probe? Where can I place the one I have now until such time as I can get one with a probe.
