I'm using the heat for venomous snakes (Terrestrial). Arboreal seems easy enough to use that fake vine and greenery but not sure what to do desert type setups...

I'm thinking of a rock, glue the probe to the back of the rock and keep it towards the back. It wont be 100% in the radiant heat but with my temp gun and being close I can adjust the herpstat. So if the heat directly under the radiant heat is 90F the probe may read 80F (For example).

I can then set the herpstat at 80F but it really will be allowing 90F.

What do you think?
