Attaching Probes

[skittles85]

I have moved my 4 month old MD into a URS small enclosure with rock wall etc. He has settled in nicely, feeding well still and is showing no signs of stress which is great. It's a swing door, 40x30x45.
Temps are all ok except at the moment I am using paper towel as my substrate and my little one likes to get under the paper towel (as he did when he was in a click clack even though he has 2 exo terra rock hides) and seems to like the same spot where I place the probes for thermostat and thermometer.
I am now having the dilemma of him moving the thermostat prob around as it doesn't have a suction cap or anything on it.

Just wondering how people keep their probes in place? I know all sticky tape is a definite no no.

If its a glass surface that the probe sits on then you'll need to rehouse your pet for a week or more (because of fumes) and silicone the probe (not the actual sensor tip) to the glass.
If its a timber surface then use nailed cable clips like this

Don't know what your tank is made out of but I usually drilled 2 holes and cable tied them down.

You can get suction cups of ebay

Thanks Jax, meant to mention it is made of glass. Thought about siliconing it in but would be a pain when I do a full clean.

Never even thought of looking on eBay for them! Normally ebay is my first option for most things, Thankyou! Will order some today!
