I had this happen every now and then. I have the probe laying on the substrate under his hides. Every once in a while, when he enters, he will either lift it off of the substrate which results in lower temp readings or drive it deeper into the substrate which results in higher temps. I have used aluminum tape now and taped it to the inside of the hide so that it is touching the substrate. So far he hasn't moved it!!

Peace!
