Need help with Thermometer probe placement

[martin82531]

That's really good info to have, and something that I think gets left out of the Beginner's Guides. It seems that there's a lot of focus on UTH's, not so much on overhead radiant heat.

I still need clarification, though. I've got one person saying that I should put the hot side sensor directly on top of the UTH. Considering that I've got a Thermostat coming that'll also be monitoring the UTH does everyone else agree with this? (Not that I'm doubting you, Martin. I just want to get a quorum so I know for sure that I'm doing it right.)

No worries - Always good to question the information you are being provided to make sure you a making an informed decision.

Once you get your thermostat in, you will use adhesive to adhere the probe to the bottom of the UTH. Then by placing the outdoor probe from your thermometer on the inside, direct above the UTH, you can calibrate your thermostat to make sure you have the appropriate temp on the hot/basking side of your enclosure.
