hi, has anyone got a tip for how to feed a habistat thermostat probe into a breeder box without cutting holes in the plastic? there has to be a way! at present i have the sensor under the box and on top of the mat...not ideal!

thanks mike, mmmm...thought about that. there is a hole large enough for the cable but not the sensor. i am just trying to get away with not having to use sealant to plug the gap. thermometer sensor is fine as it is skinny enough to fit through the gap in the plastic hinge.

if the mat is underneath the enclosure tape the stat probe to the mat but have the therm probe inside where the snake will be, set the dial on the stat to the temp the thermometer reads than the dial on the stat itself
