Thermostat probe location?

[Stewart_Reptiles]

Hey everyone, I picked up a thermostat last night. I am wondering the best location for the probe. Is it in the hide or near the hide?
Thanks,
Scott

Thermostat or Thermometer?

If thermostat the best place is directly on the heat soure to prevent the temps from shooting up if you BP move the probe, or tip is water dish, or urinate near the probe.

If thermometer the probe should be above the substrate on the warm side.
