Well I have a cheap zoo-med theromostat and the same kind of digital thermometers. But I put my thermostat thermometer under the tank above the UTH. I adjusted it so that it reads 82 on the substrate (read by the digital thermometers), I don't know what the actual temp is on top of the UTH or what exact temp the thermostat is reading, it could be 5 degrees higher, but I only care about the temp inside the tank if that makes sense.

I think it is safe and it keeps an extra wire out of the cage (the top did not want to close properly with that huge cord going in).
