Why You Need This Thermometer
Whilst a digital or dial thermometer will take the ambient air temperature at a point in your setup, this infra-red thermometer has been designed to take more accurate readings of different surfaces. It will help you understand if basking areas are too hot, or too cold, if the shade provides enough cooling, or if an incubation area is correctly heated. Once you know the temperature of a specific feature rather than just the air around it, you are better able to position your heat and light sources correctly and provide the best possible environment for your pet.
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. It also allows you to scan difficult-to-measure spots with low light conditions, like inside hiding caves, behind branches, underneath leaves, etc…
