    Re: Setting up a new tank, but I'm not sure about the thermostat

    The probe for the thermostat NEVER goes inside the tank.
    If the snake moves the probe the thermostat will turn the heat pad up possibly burning the snake.

    The probe gets taped so it is against the uth under the tank.
    The thermometer probe goes directly on top of the hot spot inside of the tank, under any substrate so you know the temperature of the uth(which should read 90-92 degrees)
