To fix this you need “legs” on the corners of your enclosure. I definitely agree to set it up properly if you can although I think there are ways around it if you need. If you securely fasten it to the bottom and layer substrate correctly I don’t see a major issue. The main thing would be inaccurate readings due to the substrate but you could always make a “capsule” to secure to the bottom. Anywho.... I’m just saying if you’re careful and inventive I think there are ways to safely control a uth with the probe on the inside. For the most accurate reading though place it under the enclosure if you can. Hope this helps!

You never want to put tape inside a snakes enclosure. I have heard of individuals using silicone to attach a probe but I just see room for mistakes to happen. And if something WERE to happen it could turn out very badly. I just dont see it worth the risk.
