hi, going to set my faun up this evening, getting snake tomorrow, just wondering where I put the mat stat sensor? I understand you tape it to the mat, but does it go directly underneath the faun, in the middle of the mat?

cheers for any advice, dont fancy drilling a hole to stick it inside the faun.

with the Faun, you can tape the stat probe to the mat no problem, i tend to tape about 1 inch infront of the electrical connection.
as soon as you transfer the mat to inside a viv or larger faun, you should stop using the tape completely, if they get stuck in it, it may, or rather, can cause problems.

Just to clarify, thats with the heatmat OUTSIDE the faun.
