Zoo Med Digital Thermometer for Terrariums Reptile Thermometers & Hygrometers at Pet Mountain

On July 13, 2012:
I never had one of these before and at first I didn't even think it worked. The temperature isn't taken in real time or near real time, it is taken roughly every 10 seconds so it can take a bit of time for it to read the temperature correctly when you first put it in. This product would be better if you don't need to change the water in your tank often or have to move it around too much in the basking area.

I bought two of these thermometers for my new snake's tank, and both are working very well.

My business is buying and selling fish, aquariums and accessories. I have 40+ aquariums set up. I already had a couple of these in the black color (not by Zoo Med). This one is identical except for the color. The black ones are not so bold, so I like them better. As far as functionality, it is great. I can see at a glance, the temperature of the water in my tanks. No more squinting to see those tiny little marks on the thermometer. I can mount this thermometer any where (either with the suction cup or on a screw), so it does not detract from the aquarium decor. The probe can be placed anywhere in the water. The measurements are in tenths of degrees which is very handy for noting slight changes.

It works but it's off by +2 F deg. Not big deal

Everyone in the reptile trade should know by now that stick on thermometers and dials can be off by as much as 10 degrees. This digital one with a probe is great, and I have backed it with my laser thermometer gun and it is correct temp. I use two on all three of my tanks ( one for hot and one for cool side). Only bad thing is I can't get the stupid suction cups to work, but the clear small command hooks slide right in the holder on the back and work perfect.

It works so much better that my dial thermometers! It's accurate and that's very important when it comes to the care of my lizard :) It's small and has a suction cup so I can stick it on the side of the tank but I can still move it if I needed to, and I like that! :)

This little thing worked great for finding just the right basking set-up for my bearded dragon. It's simple enough to use and pretty accurate, was a great purchase.

This is a great and must have product when you need to measure temps and i find it to be way more accurate than other thermometers.

I used this with the Kritter Keeper for my Sugar glider joey that was rejected. It enabled me to gauge the correct temperature while the joey was being hand fed.
