Highlighted Reviews
"I like how easy to use this thing is. You have to be pretty close to the area that you want to measure. You can see where I measured the warm side and cool side in my leopard gecko's tank. It also continues to measure as you move/hold the button!"
"I personally wouldn't trust a system that doesn't continuously monitor and adjust the temperature. This unit is nice for validation and spot checks, but not the only temperature monitor."
Bottom Line
If you need an accurate and reliable thermometer for your reptile enclosure, this is a great option. Just be aware of the potential button issues.
