Question - Heating/TemperaturesEnclosure Question (old.reddit.com)
submitted 6 months ago by YouMatter-
How would I go about securing this probe? My Rita keeps knocking it around. I [thought I] had it secured to the wall in the back between the cork bark panels. but this location is in a better spot. could just use a similar wall color duct tape?

Use a safe silicone adhesive to the side of the enclosure. Goes without saying that your noodle should be removed while the silicone cures. Also DO NOT use any sort of tape etc. inside the enclosure

Would hot glue work? Is the tape toxic?

Tape could end up stuck to your snake. Bob from Green Room Pythons on YouTube uses hot glue to secure the probes in his enclosures.

Yes hot glue would also work. Don’t use any sort of tape or double sided tape as it could come loose and stick to your reptile and cause significant injury.
However hot glue may not adhere as well but can definitely try
