i picked up one of these thermometers from P@H today while i was out
http://www.petsathome.com/shop/thermometer-by-exo-terra-28203
and being a newbie, im not sure where about to put it in the faun, on the warm side? on the base of the faun or the side?
sorry if it seems like a dumb question, i also aim to get a better one once i have a bit more cash handy, but got this one for now rather to be safe than sorry :)
thankyou |

These dials are not really accurate, even if you lie it flat on the base at the substrate. |
