Problem with Thermostat

[Booper]

That's what I was thinking. If you can get glass or PVC cut to fit, you can sandwich your UTH and thermostat probe between the wood and the sheet. You'll want to seal the edges to avoid any liquid seeping under. You'd also want to run the cables through the side rather than up the way you have them. One drawback is it would be difficult to replace the UTH or probe if needed. Just a thought - may be more trouble than it's worth.

I'm thinking now, my local pet store sells a 'cover' for a heatmat, which is supposed to make using heat mats safe in wooden vivs. If I could fit a probe under it as well, would that work? It would create a sort of 'step' in the viv, but that shouldn't be a problem, should it?

Edit: I'm now double thinking (Dangerous, I know) but maybe if I got some of that plastic sheeting (I'm not sure what it's called, like shower curtain material?) and hot glued that down over the heat mat to create a watertight seal, would that work? Hot glue would come off pretty easy I think if you pulled on it.
