Good to know ty. I've read about RHP user's placing it near/under the substrate on the hot spot for their ball pythons since that's the contact point but for arboreal species having it higher up. I'm guessing having it hanging along the wall is more precise? Or is it a matter of preference?

That being said, if a ball python somehow does mess with it, because who knows what bp's do sometime, would there be any risk of the prove being damaged for any reason or stop functioning?
