is this the right themometer

because my pet shop said it was but sometimes they dont know any better :shrugs: :shrugs:


i looked at one forum and saw that digital themometers were the best :shrugs: here

It looks to me like this thermometer is the stick on the glass type. Which is NOT what you need.

The one that you need will have a wire coming out of the thermometer with some kind of bulb or probe on the end that you burry in the substrate.

I like this product. It's self contained (no probe), so I just toss it wherever I need to monitor.

I think I gave a bad link. The product is a Fluker's thermometer/hygrometer.

You want to make sure that:
-the cool side is low to mid seventies at the substrate surface.
-the warm side is low to mid eighties at the substrate surface.
-the floor of the viv, under the substrate is not super-hot (90+).
