Exo Terra Infrared Thermometer

The Exo Terra Infrared Thermometer measures surface temperatures in the terrarium instantly, without touching your animals. Simply aim and read, making it quick to check basking spots, cool zones and heat mats so you can keep the temperature gradient right.

Key features of the Exo Terra Infrared Thermometer

• Non-contact measurement
• Instant readings
• Checks basking spots and cool zones
• Easy one-hand use

Getting accurate readings

For a reliable reading, hold the thermometer fairly close and aim straight at the surface, because the measured spot grows the further away you stand and can take in the cooler area around a basking rock. An infrared thermometer cannot read through glass, so open the terrarium door rather than pointing it at the front pane, and shiny metal or glossy decor can show figures lower than the real temperature. Check the basking surface, the warm floor and the cool end whenever you change a bulb or move decor, and test the substrate above a heat mat, where hot spots can build up unseen.

Good to know

It measures surface temperature rather than air temperature, so use it alongside a terrarium thermometer.
