"Im not sure why this item has so many bad reviews I have purchased a handful of these to put on my terrariums and I’ve never had an issue with them although Ive never tried to remove it either but the temperature has always been very accurate."

— ashton

"i bought 2 and neither of them show the temperature"

Bottom Line

The thermometer is decent for short-term use but not recommended for long-term or frequent repositioning due to its durability issues.
