Just got 2 pythons

Ideally you wedge the probe between the UTH and the glass but those zoomed UTHs are often to bulky to do that so in that case you tape it (no tape on that actual probe but on the cord) to the UTH and use styrofoam to keep it in place.

Alrighty, will do that soon as it arrives.

Also wanted to ask, my BEL roams in his tub a lot more than my mojave, I'm assuming this may be because he's looking for somewhere warm? When I open his tub he doesn't seem to mind my presence. I put my hand in the tub to see his reaction and he simply climbs up. Is it okay for me to do this repeatedly (by repeatedly I mean roughly every time I see him out roaming for an extended amount of time, holding for about 10 minutes per time)? I thought it would be good since my hands could warm him up a bit and he doesn't seem to mind at all since he's approaching me rather than me picking him straight out. He didn't seem stressed/scared (Relaxed breathing, no flinching, wasn't balling up, nor did he have that S shape posture) over the whole ordeal.

My Mojave however has been hiding a lot. I haven't handled her since the day that I first got her. Currently she's hiding in the Gelato container. I'm assuming I shouldn't handle her at all unless she clearly doesn't mind going near my hand? I know I shouldn't handle them (or just about any animal, really) when they're in their hide. I only did it once to the BEL because he got the paper towel in to the bowl and soaked the whole paper. Other than that, I haven't done anything else handling wise.
