You can't put the probe on the ground. When they lay on. The RHP will run full blast for who knows how long.

On top of the paper like that I don't see how itd make sure the floor was the right temp.

I've got my probe on the side of the wall close to the floor. And its working ok. Still trying to fine tune it. That way they can't lay on it.

I've also heard people putting the probe on the cool side. And with bloods setting it at like say 80. And saying the hot spot would be the 88ish temps. But I'm unconvinced.

How's your setup working for you?

Sorry for the long post.
I haven't had any problems with it. Hot side temp is always 88. I use a tayler temp/humidity gauge to double check everything whenever I record the temps and everything has worked out really well.

My wife and I do a pretty job of monitoring my snakes cages. The only thing that happens is when the snake splashes some water around and the Helix will read a few degrees cooler but the RHP is pretty small and can't get too hot. The panel itself isn't big enough to generate too much heat if you know what I mean.

i have no idea how to make them stop. worried me before but since mine is now eating regularly... i'm not worried anymore.

also he saw the vet and dave barker even gave us his 2 cents on the matter
I'm convinced they are trying to sneak out to party.
