thermostat question

Hey There...

I am not familiar with that specific thermostat, but this is your typical setup...

You want your thermostat probe located in whichever spot you would like to monitor and set temperature. Put your thermostat probe on the hot side of your tank and attach it to the bottom of the UTH, *not knowing your setup* Make sure that your UTH is under your enclosure and not in your enclosure. ;P Your thermostat and probe will regulate temperature, but you will need a digital thermometer inside your tank, on your hot spot to ensure that you know the exact temperature and are able to adjust your thermostat accordingly. Keep in mind that you do not want to use any sort of tapes or adhesives inside of your enclosure as they can possibly injure your snake.

I've got a glass tank with screen lid, left side is cool side with a water dish, right side has a 100w lamp on top set on low dim and a UTH on the bottom part (making a sandwich). This is a 15 gallon tank.

Am I peeling the mat back under the tank and putting the probe in it or am I putting the probe inside of the tank on top of the glass covering the UTH from inside the tank. I'd prefer to do it outside if that is viable otherwise I might have trouble closing my lid properly
