heat pad /probe problem

[Skittles1101]

Gotcha. For UTHs like that I'd secure the probe on the bottom of the UTH, or just carefully unstick the UTH altogether, secure the probe, and then just remove/add the tub as needed and secure the UTH onto the surface. It's hard to explain?

For example, I have my UTHs secured to a shelf. Then I secure the probe onto the UTH. That way I can remove/add the tub from the UTH for cleaning, feeding, etc. Does that make sense? The UTH doesn't have to be that secured to the tub, it just needs to be close enough to give off heat...

Edit: No the probe should definitely be on the outside of the tub. Thermostat probes should be secured directly to the heat source, thermometer probes should be inside over the hotspot...this keeps it from a) shorting due to urine, poo, water spillage, etc and b) moving!
