    Yeah um I HOPE I am reading that completely wrong?????? Probe NOT in enclosure and you should be monitoring the hottest surface your animal can touch. Psst they do burrow and if you have your probe buried in the substrate where it shouldnt be and can be moved you are not properly monitoring your heat source.

    The point of a no contact thermometer is to check the temperature under the substrate. You will then adjust your thermostat to get the readings you want on the thermometer. Go by the thermometer number not the thermostat.
