Different reptiles need different amounts of heat in order to be healthy — for example, what is perfect temperature for a bearded dragon is much too hot for a crested gecko. So it's very important to monitor the temperatures present in your reptile's enclosure with a thermometer.
The Exo Terra Infrared Thermometer is an essential tool for every reptile keeper or field herper! This pocket-sized, lightweight point-and-click thermometer instantly measures the temperature of any surface. The Infrared Thermometer can be used to accurately determine the temperature of basking sites, hiding caves and shelters, hibernation temperatures, incubation media, your reptile’s body temperature, or even to measure temperatures “on-the-spot” during field trips!
Instructions for Use:
Point the Exo Terra Infrared Thermometer towards any desired object and with a click on the button the temperature will be shown on the large, easy-to-read digital display.
To determine temperature gradients, the Infrared Thermometer will measure the ambient temperature as long as you press and hold the button, once you release the button the last measured temperature will be displayed. A small LED targeting light assists you to measure the correct spot and shows the diameter of the measured surface.
