Please Help Me Regulate My Habitat

I think a IR temp gun is by far the best way to monitor your surface temps. Using a rhp it is really important to know what the actual surface temp is.

For my ambient temps I use the Accurite units and find they are good at what they do. I have four units and beside the one I dropped and broke they all agree with each other on the temp of my identical cages in my snake room.

I would not mount your probe to the cage ceiling. That will not be reached by the heat and the surface temp will get way to hot. I Like to mount mine to the edge of the rhp. I glee the probe into a cable strap and then glue it to the edge of the rhp so the probe is sticking out directly under the rhp but not touching it.

I like what you used to mount your probe. For my RHP probe I placed it a little closer to the floor like so.

Not bad Martin. Looks nice.

I use rhp units in my gtp, big blood, and brb. Both my blood and brb will dislodge low wires so I like mounting them high. I was alittle worried about my gtp but he never bothers it and they are really out of the way where they are. I also didn't want to mist and cool the probe off sending my units to hot. Not that I believe it could do any real harm in the short time it was misted.
