Description
Ensure your reptile or amphibian habitat maintains optimal thermal conditions with the Exo Terra Infra-Red Thermometer. Unlike standard digital or dial thermometers that only measure ambient air temperature, this point-and-click pocket device instantly measures the exact surface temperature of any specific spot inside your terrarium or vivarium. It allows you to accurately monitor basking areas, cool shaded spots, hides, and incubation mediums to ensure your pet's heat sources are positioned correctly.
Equipped with a small LED targeting light, the thermometer clearly guides your aim and indicates the measurement field diameter, making it easy to scan low-light areas such as inside hiding caves or behind foliage. Simply press and hold the button for continuous ambient scanning, and release it to lock and hold the final temperature reading on screen.
Instant Point-and-Click Surface Reading: Measures precise surface temperatures of rocks, wood, substrate, and basking sites in seconds.
Integrated LED Targeting Light: Helps precisely pinpoint the target area and illuminates hard-to-see spots like caves and dense plants.
Continuous Scanning & Data Hold: Press and hold for real-time readings along a thermal gradient; releasing the button holds the last measured temperature.
Dual Scale Display: Easily switch between Fahrenheit (°F) and Celsius (°C) temperature readouts.
Battery Saving Auto Shut-Off: Automatically powers down after 15 seconds of inactivity to conserve battery life.
Ready to Use: Includes 2 AAA batteries so you can start monitoring your enclosure immediately.
Usage Advice: Point the targeting LED directly at the desired surface or basking feature for an accurate reading. Regularly check thermal gradients to ensure your pet has appropriate warm and cool zones.
