Description
The ReptiZoo Infrared Thermometer has been designed for ease of use. This handheld device lets you take surface temperature readings from a safe distance. Ideal for glass-fronted terrariums and sensitive species. Please note that this thermometer will read the temperature of surfaces within the enclosure and not the air temperature.
Why is it important to monitor your temperatures?
Reptiles, amphibians, and invertebrates are ectothermic (commonly called cold-blooded), which means they rely on outside sources of heat to regulate body temperature. When keeping these animals, we use Ceramic bulbs, Basking Bulbs, and heat mats to provide this heat. It is recommended that these are controlled by thermostats, and these thermometers work hand in hand with them to make sure the enclosure is at the correct temperature.
