A dial thermometer reading from −6 to 49°C, with a German precision movement and a hook-and-loop backing so it lifts off the wall for cleaning rather than being stuck there for good. No batteries, nothing to fail — which is the argument for an analog gauge in an enclosure you check daily.
Features
- −6 to 49°C range — covers everything a terrarium will realistically do.
- German precision movement.
- Removable hook-and-loop backing — comes off for cleaning.
- No batteries.
Where to mount it
Position matters more than accuracy. A gauge at the top of the enclosure reads the warmest air in the tank, not the temperature where the animal actually sits. Mount it at animal height, and use one at each end if you want to know whether your thermal gradient is real. For basking surface temperatures, a dial thermometer is the wrong tool — use the ReptiTemp infrared thermometer.
