    So I should put the thermostat probe for the CHE outside! How on earth will that read accurately through the glass?

    Okay I'm going to attempt to not glue gun the probe to the inside for the CHE. The probe for the UTH is not taped but sits under his warm side hide held in place by the hide above it

    AGAIN.....A thermostat probe, for the most part should always go on the outside of the tank. Usually what you want to see is the probe either sandwiched between the bottom of the glass tank and the UTH or taped onto the UTH directly, but not on the inside of the enclosure. If your snake urates (pees) or spills water on the probe, the probe can sense a decrease in temperature and cause your UTH to spike in temperature, potentially burning your snake.
