I've nothing against using carpets as they can be swapped and cleaned easily I guess . I'd add some leaves to make it more natural looking maybe .

As mentioned the stick on thermometers are worse than useless for this purpose so maybe as suggested get a couple of those digital ones with a probe off eBay for about 3 dollars each .

I'd even consider splashing 13 dollars ( again off eBay) for a digital temp gun !! They're great for taking quick random temperatures off cool spots / warm areas and under hides etc
