New Snek Momma

No no no!!
DEFINITELY no tape inside an enclosure. Especially over a heat source. The adhesive will soften and your snake will burrow under it eventually.
I've seen some horrible scale damage from take and even read of one case where the snake got stuck to the tape. It must have panicked and thrashed because the animals neck broke and the snake died.

No tape ever inside a reptile enclosure.

Seems unlikely but yeah I see how it’s a bad idea. I was just trying to think of a way that would work with the probe inside the enclosure. If you have a species that doesn’t burrow and had a layer of packed substrate I think the chances of them moving the probe is minimal. You could always place a heavy object over it as well. I could see a problem arising if the snake tried to eat it That could be bad. I agree it’s not worth the risk when there’s an alternative.
