simple question, when you get a thermostat, where do you place the wire thingy
a) at the hot end
b) at the cool end
c) in the middle
any and all comments welcome

Personally I would put at the hot end to so they can chose what heat they want.

for a coastal carpet, if its in the middle what would the temp be to create a temp gradient? and how would i put the wire in the enclosure, without it being able to hurt the snake? coz random wire sounds a bit ouchie if you know what i mean. unless its harmless?

All they are is a sensor, no possibility of hurting the snake i would have thought.

hmm i guess that makes sence, but i always thought random sharp things would hurt. (like the end of a bit of wire) but if its soft enough i guess it wont do damage  thanks all
regards

The wire probe isn't sharp herpsrule, it should be quite rounded

Nat  | What kind of Stat will you be using? I haven't seen any that are a bare sharp wire before, some have like a metal probe but isn't sharp, and all the others i have seen are covered in rubber.
