Thermometer is fine in the cage then. Only thermostat probes for UTH need to be outside.

Here is a chart to help clarify more.



Just keep in mind you will want to measure your hot spot UNDER the substrate, ideally with a temp gun. Wired probed thermometers can work too but I find they are not as accurate for surface temps.
Yes i apologize!! That why i asked could the snake on top of the probe cause the temp spike. since it was only 2 degrees.
