Re: Thermostat probe location

Perhaps this is due to my boa being in a glass cage? Glass cages don't hold temps or humidity well.

I doubt that's reason your temps are being thrown off. If it was the heat escaping, you would still expect your thermostat readings to be higher than the temp gun readings. Unless someone else has a better idea, I'm thinking one of them is faulty. As long as you've got the settings zeroed in and you're monitoring it, it shouldn't pose that much of a problem. But if things get really hairy, try buying a replacement probe and if that doesn't work, get a new temp gun. If nothing else, it will get rid of those as possibilities.
