My First Rack

[ALTownsend1]

So to reel it all back in, I am definitely getting the rack, and as soon as the guy sells his last two 09's I'll make the 30 minute drive to pick it up.

In the meantime, I got my reptitemp 500r in, and have noooooo idea how to properly hook it up to my glass, UTH heated tank...Does anyone have idiot proof directions? I have an accurite and currently just shut off the UTH by hand when temperatures exceed 95, which sadly can be often...

I've read a lot, but just can't seem to get a full grasp on the step by step way to get the repti 500r working for me. Thanks guys

step 1 - just stick the unit to the side of the glass

step 2 - plug the UTH into the reptitemp

step 3 - plug the reptitemp in

step 4 - tape the probe to the UTH (outside of tank on the bottom, right onto the UTH itself)

step 5 - adjust the knob until your thermometer consistently reads between 88-95

step 6 - make sure your thermometer probe is in the tank on top of the glass above the UTH.

step 7 - relax

Type of tape? And just to the non-sticky side of the UTH, the side that says Zoomed?

i got a 500r running right now,with a digi thermo on it, this thig works good for me a while heck i even have it on my incubator right now and its holding as good as my buddys herpstat, but i have it all set up different, anyway, when i did run it on my uth i just duct taped the thermo probe and the 500r probe together and then duct taped it to the uth, no problems ever, other than when u take the tape off its gooey oh yea and remember that last step........relax. oh and as far as bigger tubs for small snake put some hides in that mug bug and rocks and junk make it small lol
