You still have no evidence of anything. All that excerpt shows is the same thing they express on their site, it is just missing the word TIP. That way they keep noobs from covering the tip and getting incorrect readings. Sometimes it is easier and safer for a company to make a blanket statement instead of explaining something. That way they can not be sued by people with bad reading comprehension that cover the entire probe tip and harm their snake.Originally Posted by tbowman
Upon further reading, flexwatt's claims against the aluminium tape seem to be in regards to securing the tape to the rack.
I cannot find anything where either company specifically states the use of clear mailing tape, or duct tape, for probe placement. (although this is done by several experienced herpers)
What I did locate for you is an excerpt from the Herpstat 1 manual wherein Spyder Robotics recommends against using aluminium tape with their product in general, which you claimed was not the case.
In which case, my point remains clear.
There is no evidence to support the claim that securing the probe the way Ralph does in that video will provide false readings.
