I think it means when you have the probes in place put a band round them on the inside if the viv right up to the wall then same on the outside so they will be stuck in place |

The probe can not be pulled into the viv or pushed out of the viv. Works really well for me.
Now I like the sounds of that way of doing it. Although I'm having trouble picturing that in my head, any chance of a pic? I think I'm just being abit thick. |

Anyone found a really good way of securing the stat probe to the back of a viv if its half way up the back? As in, so the snake cant pull it down. |

pretty much what i done :) and i always go off the thermometer reading and adjust the stat accordingly xD.. only way ey! and thanks! |
