Reptile & Amphibian Forums

I just bought some of the dual probe hygrometer-thermometers and they are pretty cool. I'm just wondering where is the best place to put the probes? Near the substrate? A couple inches above? I'm using these to measure temps and humidity for the hot spots in my racks- one uses belly heat and the other uses back heat. Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks

qustion does it measure temps on booth probs and hydro on one?
or does it measure temp on one and hydro on the other? thank you

"snakes are kind of like potato chips, you cant have just one"

one probe is for temp and the other is for humidity. im going to take toshas advice and lower both probes onto the substrate because thats the information i need to know.

Measure where your snake is going to be - substrate level. Try inside a hide, over the heat source, cool end (if that interests you) etc. You can play around, move them about to see where you prefer them. Really dependant on what you want to know I guess.
