So I have my UTH T-stat probe inside the tub over the UTH ofcourse. I assumed this would ensure that the inside of the tub was indeed reaching the desired temp. Is this a no-no?
It can be done (and will even provide more exact temperatures) but there is a safety concern. If the snake can move the probe or dump water on it there is a chance that the probe will read a much lower temperature than the cage actually is and can result in burns.
