I bought one of those thermometers that was pictured above, the plastic-looking probe. His favorite hiding spot read 85 degrees on a the dot. Is this too hot for him?
Is his favorite hiding spot right over the heat mat?the most important question with the heat mat is: what is the temperature ON the glass UNDER the aspen in the CENTER of the UTH? This is the potential harmful spot the employee who warned you off a uth to begin with was talking about. With a dimmer and properly monitored, UTH is the best source of heat for your snake. Just have to get it set up properly...and once you've got the first one, the rest are easy! lol
So, in short. Clear away aspen above the uth, roughly in the middle. On this space of clear glass, affix the thermometer probe to the glass above the UTH. Thats the spot you want to keep control of.
