Another newbie question from a brand new owner

[satomi325]

OK..so last night Aaron (theserpentmerchant) helped me out quite a bit....

Have a few small follow up questions....

I have two thermometers...and a thermostat on the way....thermostat probe is going between the outside of the glass bottom and the UTH

My plan is to have one thermometer on the side where I have my hot spot...the other way is going in the cooler side....What method of attachment is best for the probes? Obviously tape is a no go...I was thinking a hot glue gun? ( I am currently using a 10 gal glass tank).

My second question is placement of thermometer probes....between substrate and glass bottom or more on top of the substrate?

Thanks!!

Hot glue is best for the probes and you want the probe on the hottest spot in the enclosure that is accessible to the snake. So you want the probe on top of the glass, under the substrate.

The problem with Velcro is that it does have sticky adhesive that is used to stick to the back wall of the enclosure and on the thermometers. There should be no sticky adhesives in the enclosure. Someday it could start unpeeling and stick to your snake..
