    Darn it, I went to Walmart, and they didn't have it...I did go to Kmart, and it was 22 dollars...I didn't buy it only because i saw a previous thread of yours for partshelf.com and they are selling it for 16...

    but i just calculated the shipping...its actually more expensive to purchase it online...

    Should have bought it today...
    Oh well, off to Kmart tomorrow...

    Try Lowes, I found it for 16 dollars...

    If anyone happens to see this, in case i can't find it in any of the other threads, where do you actually put the probe?

    I was told that first you put it under the substrate under the warm hide to make sure the temperature does not exceed 95 degrees, then you put it on top of the substrate under the warm hide and adjust the depth of the substrate until the temp reads 92-94. Then if you want you can put it inside of the cool hide to measure that temperature. Then once you are certain they are safe and correct, you can put it back on the glass under the warm hide to monitor that as it is the most dangerous to your snake.
