The probe is now floating around in the air somewhere and the UTH starts really heating up because it's trying to hit your Thermo set point. Meanwhile your BP has burrowed down to the glass, and had no idea that it's burning its skin off the bone...

    You want the probe secured at the point that will get the hottest and could be reached by your snake.
