Where is best to put probe I have mine directly under heat lamp along with the temp probe but if Marty decides to sit on it or move it the power to the bulb will increase causing the heat to rocket, am I just worrying and have got it in the right place or is there somewhere better to place it?

Its right outside his hide so I think he'd rather curl up and sleep in there was just worried in case he does decide to stay on it with it being right under the lamp he'd feel the effect of the lamp getting more power straight away, would he move if it was getting too hot? Caught him being naughty last night too trying to wrap himself around the bulb guard will post pic soon
