A lot of people will secure their stat probe on the inside under the substrate and there is nothing wrong with that. I just try to eliminate any cable inside the cage. I don't even use the accurite probe for temps anymore. I have the thermometers mounted inside the cage to give me ambient temps and humidity readings. I use a temp gun to measure all my floor temps. I trust my herpstat , if I have it set to 97, I know my floor temps are good. Still confirm temps often with the gun though.

Was your accurite matching your stat?
I fixed the problem! I have ultratherm ( I think that's the company ) UTHs for all my set ups. I just hot glued the probes for my tstats inside the tanks. Once all my ball pythons are in apcages I'll go out and buy a herpstat lol.

But for now everything is good to go! Thanks for your help buddy!
