Does my UTH need a thermostat? What about Thermometers?

[mercerasian]

Here is my question...where do you place the thermostat probe in relation to a UTH? Should it go between the UTH and the glass (where it would likely get messed up from the glue on the UTH) or inside the tank, between the glass and substrate (I'm using carpet currently, as I thought it would be easier and cheaper than a wood based substrate)? Thanks.

Either or really. I put mine inside the tank over the heat pad. I figure I want the hottest temp my snake will come in contact with not the highest the UTH will get which is two different things because of the glass in between.
