A digital thermometer with a remote probe on about a metre of cable, showing current, minimum and maximum temperature at the same time. The min/max readings are the reason to buy this over a dial gauge: they tell you what happened while you were asleep or at work. A cold overnight low or a hot afternoon spike is invisible to a thermometer you only glance at in the evening.
Features
- Current, minimum and maximum — all shown at once.
- Remote probe on about 1m of cable — display outside, probe where it matters.
- One-button reset — clears the memory to start a fresh period.
- Suction cup mount and AAA battery included.
Using it
Put the probe where the animal actually spends its time, not at the top of the enclosure. Reset the memory after each check so the next reading covers a known window. This is the tool for finding out whether your enclosure is holding temperature overnight — it is a common failure and easy to miss.
For surface temperatures, use the ReptiTemp infrared thermometer. More in Reptile Habitat Accessories.
