Re: Where to place the thermostat probe
I'm completely new to snakes,but not to having common sense..my snake lives inside the enclosure,so I place the thermostat probe to the bottom center of the heat mat and a thermometer probe on the inside the tank ( where my snake lives) and dead center of the pad.. Now unless u have a really thin thermostat probe then you can place it in between the pad and glass,but some have thicker probes and well u can't put them I between cause it wouldn't keep the pad flat to the bottom of the tank,so it's pointless..It's all common sense stuff,not rocket science. That's IMO.. My first 2 snakes and I have worked with my temps and humidity and done many things to get it to work and asked for little to no help. Did some reading,used MY BRAIN and. Common sense and ,that's that...simple man

I just saw you said the UTH is inside the tank. THATS DEAD WRONG!!!! WHY DO YOU THINK THATS THE CORRECT WAY?
Being new to snakes you should spend some time and see that most long time keepers place the probes for uth's outside the cages. This is because they have learned through trial and error and outside is by far the safest way to set it up.
Like it was already said even Spyderobotics even tells you to place the probe outside the cage.
I have personally tried both ways and I had issues with the probes in the tank but not once have I had an issue with the probe on the outside.

the UTH is on the outside of the tank and the probe is on the outside of the pad..the thermometer is inside the tank..instead of running your mouth just to run it just to oppose my comment ,don't be a fool,READthe comment and then post No where do I state that it's inside the tank and only a retard would put it in tank or tv vk I won do so...pictures on the box are clear enough where it goes,lol

Im not trying to "run my mouth" and I have no reason to "oppose" your comment. I was trying to help you out. The way you wrote it makes it sound like everything is inside the tank(where your snake lives). There was a better way to write it. You need to remember we are not in your mind and while clear to you, it was not.
Maybe: I placed the tstat probe to the bottom center of the uth under the tank and then I have a thermometer probe on the inside of the tank over the uth.
Your post have errors and it makes it difficult to read and fully get what your trying to say. You leave our mind to fix and edit your lines to what we think you are trying to say. Like this "only a retard would put it in tank or tv vk I won do so." Slow down so you make sure to get your point across.
Take more time with your post and read it yourself before posting. This will save everybody a bit of confusion and maybe you wont have to snap back.

Actually, its pad................ probes.............. glass.
You really need to drop your attitude and name calling.
