Hi everyone,

I picked up up this slate warm hide + basking platform for my future Leo. I see that the basking spot should be 34-37c. Do I tape the thermostat probe to the top of this structure and just set it to say 36c and then verify with temperature gun?

Thanks!

you'd put it on the top, wherever is going to be directly under the basking bulb, like this !setup

its best to not use tape though, adhesives can be dangerous under heat due to off gassing!
