Well maybe im wrong but this seems to be one of the topics where there is some debate?.? I've read both sides and most opinions told me to put the thermostat probe inside the tank, right on top of the UTH. (Through the glass, the heater itself is NOT inside the tank) but i've heard that putting the probe on the heater outside the tank will give false readings to the warmth, through the glass, & what your snake is feeling. TRUST me, I would have much rather kept it on the outside all together. (especially after this adventure) but I wanted to get the most accurate reading to what she is feeling.
Yes, it is the cord, that actually runs up the corner of the tank.

Thanks for the response, i certainly enjoy hearing everyone's opinion.
