Sorry if this is daft question but I have my faun ontop of mat which is sealed down in 2ft viv, as I put cilla in viv too early, the stat probe is outside faun onto of mat so is it ok to hold the probe down with the faun ? it won't stay in 1 place if I don't but I don't want it to get broken by the weight :/ |

underneath is fine in a glass viv but lota's right, you do risk the glass cracking as the mat heats it up quite quickly
as for stats you only need an on/off type stat, and i'd recommend Habistat, Microclimate or Aqualine |

Underneath is fine I wouldn't recommend using it without a stat though, even as a trial as without a stat you could in theory crack the glass (not likely but it can happen). I use habistat mat/stats for my heat mats and they regulate the temperature perfectly. You could put it inside too, if its statted it doesn't make much difference to a glass viv, wooden vivs are the only one where you have to have it inside.
(bit of an edit, as you dont have a snake yet  ) |
