Hello Gang
Where should I place the temp probe for my thermostat?I think it should be under the radiant heat panel on the bottom of the cage.Also how should I fasten it down? It is a Boaphile 421D.Thanks in advance,John.
 
I just received my 6322D, the 6' Boaphile enclosure and I had Jeff install everything, RHP, 2 UTH, lights. When I was talking to him about the setup, he asked me if I was wanted him to drill the hole. I said, what hole? The hole that the probes will enter through, I said yes, please do. Well, he forgot so I called him and asked where to drill. He told me to drill a 5/16" hole centered 2" below the RHP and then push the probes through so that they stick out straight under the RHP. That' where he said to place them.

As for the 2 UTH, they are plugged into the small power strip which is connected to the double Ranco T-stats which he configured. The second UTH is just in case my room temps are too cool, which they are, so in order to heat up the far (cool) side of the enclosure we configured the cool end with the low heat UTH just to keep the temps in range. These do not have probes placed on them and are controlled by the Ranco via the small power strip.
