Where to place the thermostat probe

[KMG]

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.
