We strongly advise against using an analog thermometer. For precise temperature readings, we recommend purchasing a Digital Thermometer instead. Reptiles have unique heating needs depending on their species. For instance, the ideal temperature for a bearded dragon can be dangerously high for a crested gecko. Therefore, using a thermometer to keep track of your reptile’s habitat temperature is crucial. The Exo Terra Analog Thermometer can be conveniently attached to the inside wall of your reptile’s enclosure, allowing for easy monitoring of the surrounding air temperature. Note that this thermometer is not designed to measure basking temperatures. If you require a device for basking area monitoring, we suggest a digital probe thermometer from ReptileSupply.com. Installation Guide: Peel off the protective backing, clean and dry the surface thoroughly, and firmly press the thermometer onto the enclosure wall. Position it on the warmer side to measure the average heat there, or on the cooler side to check the temperature gradient. Avoid placing it directly beneath or too close to a heat source. This product is not suitable for underwater use.
