Hi,

Actually I would keep the thermostat probe outside the tub the way it is just now but move the thermometer probe to the inside of the tub over the heatmat under the substrate and see what the temps look like from where the snake will actually be.

The temps inside the tub don't rise and fall as quickly as the temps right next to the probe.

If you put the thermostat probe inside the rub then the snake can mess with it with possibly serious results. Is she lies on top of it or pee's all over it the thermostat will read that as low temps and turn the heat mat up to compensate - can give you some really nasty heat spikes that.

Or is she moves it completely off the heatmat it will never get a true reading and could potentially cook her trying.
