Probes needs to be in the cooler end yesI’m not sure if I’ve already asked this question already or not…but anyway! is the probe in the correct place? It’s at the cooler end.

Awesome omg I’m so glad I’ve almost got everything sorted as hanging the CHE and the basking bulb has been a right pain in the arse I thought I would hang it from the top of the greenhouse fixture instead. To say it made me work up a sweat is an understatement haha xProbes needs to be in the cooler end yes
lol bless you! You’re in the home stretch nowAwesome omg I’m so glad I’ve almost got everything sorted as hanging the CHE and the basking bulb has been a right pain in the arse I thought I would hang it from the top of the greenhouse fixture instead.

Can you show me a picture of yours please? I’m having trouble working out how to place it away from the wall. Thank youI like to have the probe away from the wall of the enclosure an inch or two minimum. Not touching the wall. Two inches from the wall, 3-4 inches above substrate is what I like. Depending upon how the wall of the enclosure is made, it can pick up too much of the "outside" room temperature and not be a true indication of enclosure cool side.
I am another thing- the middle of the table is about 25 degrees, the basking area is 36, and the cooler side is 23…are those temps okay? I don’t think I’m gonna need the CHE on at this rate. I’ll set the thermostat for 21 degrees though, so it’s a nice temperature at night xlol bless you! You’re in the home stretch now
They sound pretty good, the cooler side wouldn’t hurt being a little bit higher for a day temp, only by a few degrees though so don’t panic if you can’t quite get it there cause your basking temp sounds spot on, and the middle is pretty good.I am another thing- the middle of the table is about 25 degrees, the basking area is 36, and the cooler side is 23…are those temps okay?

I put a cup hook in the ceiling of the enclosure right above where I want the sensor to hang. Then let it drape down to the correct height.Can you show me a picture of yours please? I’m having trouble working out how to place it away from the wall. Thank you
Ah thanks for the idea! That’s very creative…so hats off to you I might get a background for our tort- know any safe glues I can use?This is a little tick we did, used bendy reptile wire to bring the probe away from the wall whilst staying in place, squirt hasn’t bothered with themthis is her combometer sensor
