    Although I keep my probes inside the cages (hard to get rights temps by putting them outside the cage with an RHP and fluctuating house temps), I hot glue them to the cage.

    I used to tape them, but I don't trust it at all. Partly thanks to dr del (hear that, Derek, I took your advice ), but I'm really pleased with the result. Unmovable.
