so where do you guys place your probes? on top of the substrate or under it?
I don't put my probes in the tub at all ... tape and snakes in the same box are not the best idea ... If you have a good thermostat, you should only need to put the thermometer into the tub long enough to get a temp reading and then remove it. There's not point in leaving it in there permanently.
