Thermometer Gets Knocked Around

[llovelace]

Tank or tub?

Use the indoor/outdoor Accurite and put just the probe in the tank.

They are tanks.

I have the probe under the hide on the hot side and the unit sitting on the cool side so I can see the ambient temp.

Does the probe measure the humidity? I thought the main unit did that part.

Ahh...The main part measures humidity. You could mount the main part on the glass with double stick tape or velcro.

Had the very same problem...I went to Walmart...3M makes a little package of stickey back velcro. I think 3ft of it for about $4.50...look good too once it is all mounted up...just don't mount too high off the floor of the tank since that is where your snake will be! Mine has prolly 2.5in from bottom of Accu-Rite to the bottom of tank.

I use the exact same stuff. It also works great for other projects around the house.

It sounds like we have almost the same setup. I needed aluminum tape to tape my UTH to the bottom of the tank. This lets me reuse it and move it without damaging the UTH. Either way, Home Depot only sells this massive roll for like $6 so i had plenty left over. I never intend on moving moving the Accurite around so i taped the wire to the bottom of my tank. It looks pretty ugly but the substrate covers it up nicely. i run the tape all the way to the base of the thermometer and also to the end of the probe. Nothing moves and i can easily clean around it. i use a decorative rock to stabilize the back of the thermometer and i never have any issues.

hope this helps.

we would love to see pics. i will be posting mu enclosure after i clean the tank this weekend.
