What type of heating are you using? (mat/bulb/ceramic)
If its a bulb type heating I put together a small guide to show probe placements.

The important thing to remember is to take the hot spot temperature reading from directly under the bulb as that is where it is hottest. I'm not a fan of having hides directly under bulbs so I try to offset them a bit, just next to the hottest bit under the bulb. |

Set your stat to your desired warm end temp then get the probe as close to where your snake spends most of its time (usually a hide) |
