I glue tubing inside the enclosure that I slide the thermostat probe into. I then use a bread clip to stop the probe from sliding back through the tube. This holds it in place without any tape! When I need to clean, I remove the clip and slide out the probe.
How do you do it???
What happens when the snake tips the water bowl onto it? The bread clip could be knocked off too, thats certainly not fool proof. I just feel that its a lot safer to keep it outside of the enclosure where the snake cant mess with it at all. If its outside the enclosure then the only way it can be messed with is by me. That tubing would also be a spot where snake piss or crap could get in and have to be cleaned or replaced. I just personally feel like its a lot of extra effort you're going to with no real benefit.
