One should be on the hot end where the snake can go, the other on the cool end.
So in or under each end of the faunarium. |

Ive got my mat-stat probe in the substrate, in the hot hide.
I went digital yesterday from my dials, and the dials were way out, reading 22c in hot end, when its actually 29c.

a dial therm you might as well throw it in the bin! they are notoriously inaccurate
but the thermometer should be where the snake is so if it's in a faun measure the temps in the faun....... |

| the thermostat probe should either be on the substrate at the warm end, OR directly on the mat. Either way, you need a digital thermometer at substrate level so you can set the stat accordingly. ignore any numbers on the stat and go off the reading you get with the thermometer. |

| my hot end thermostat probe is directly on my mat with my stat probe both are fixed in place, that way the mat will always be same temp, i do it this way as marmalade liked to crawl under them when they were ontop of the substrate and lift them up causeing mat to get hotter |
