Son getting ball python. Cage setup help please

[Kaorte]

Ok that is true. I will look for a tstat at the show. Im sure they got one there.. They got everything else there lol.

Also i got one dimmer switch that is controlling the UTH and lamp. So if i were to get another dimmer switch it would have to be just as long of a wait as the tstat.

So what imma do is look for a tstat at the show pick one up. Hook that up to the UTH. Now the thing is the UTH is already stuck to underside of cage (dont look at me i didnt do it )

So how should i place the probe?

Why would you have to wait to get another dimmer? You can pick them up at the home depot.

Doesn't matter that the UTH is already stuck. Most people don't use the sticky that comes with the UTH so they can re-use them on different tanks.

Thermostat probe goes OUTSIDE the enclosure right on the UTH. Just tape it directly to the UTH.

Your accurite probe goes right on the glass over the UTH (under the substrate).
