Setting up a Thermostat

[caravaggiooo]

Also never stick tape inside the tank. And dont use reflective metal tape outside of it either for the probes. Apparently it messes with the sensor readings.

Totally fine, that's how I secure my heat pads. Main thing is that the foil tape won't reflect back onto the probe

Hey, just jumping in here because I'm about to be setting up my first snake enclosure soon - concerning the foil tape, for what do people usually use it for? Is it just to supplement the cheap adhesives on some heat pads? I also thought people tape it over the adhesive (then attach the pads using tape) so the pads can be reused/easier to remove, or did I misunderstand that? I'd thought foil tape was also supposed to be for the thermostat probe but I guess that wasn't right. I saw it on a lot suggested supplies lists so I'd gone ahead and gotten a roll.
