Exo Terra Digital Thermometer

The Exo Terra Digital Thermometer is a precision instrument for checking the temperature inside a reptile or amphibian terrarium. It reads from a remote sensor on a lead, which a suction cup holds in place inside the habitat, while the display sits outside where it is easy to read. A programmable memory keeps the minimum and maximum temperatures, and a single button controls every function. The unit can be fixed with the supplied hook-and-loop fastener or slid straight into place on an Exo Terra Compact Top canopy.

Getting accurate readings

Place the remote sensor where you want to know the temperature: at the basking spot to check it reaches the right level, or at the cool end to make sure there is a proper gradient. Many keepers use two units, one for each end. The minimum and maximum memory is especially useful for catching how far the temperature drops overnight or peaks during a hot afternoon when you are not watching. Reset it after each check so the next reading reflects the latest period. After rearranging rocks, plants or lamps, check the readings again, as small changes can shift local temperatures.

Good to know

Keep the sensor out of direct contact with heat mats or basking bulbs, as touching a heat source gives a reading higher than the air around it.
