And obviously you will want to set what you want the cool side to be at. Then just put a hide under the RHP and make sure there is a gap of at least 6" between the top of the hide and the RHP.
what should i hang it with? when i put the probe in i drilled a small hole in the back of the cage on the warm side i guess ill just run it all the way across the cage and hang it. is their anyway you could post a pic so i have a visual on what i need to do please...i want to get this fixed asap i guess i wasent thinking clearly when i just laid it their ... thank you
