Whats a good thermometer for in the tank.

[wliebbe]

I have a temp gum I use to check the actual surface temp at different spots. And yes the pet store sold me one of those stupid dial stick on ones too. I'm learning

That being said what is a good thermometer for in the tank that I can use for a quick reference peek, and do I want a hygrometer too or one of the combo one I see for sale.


Teach me oh wise dragon keepers.

I use one by Zoomed and it’s got the probe on the end. About $10 Canadian

Yeah a couple of the small digital aquarium thermometers should do. You don't need to spend much. I'd set one on the basking surface and one on the cool side surface so you can see what the gradient is at a glance. A step up from that would be to get a dimming thermostat that you can program to control the output of the light to keep it within a specific range.

I use zoomed also. Ive got about 6 of them now and if theyre in the same place theyll be accurate with each other to about 0.2 of a degree so fairly accurate

This one will give you basking & cool side temp at same time as well as humidity level. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B001BO8CUE/ref=ox_sc_sfl_title_9?ie=UTF8&psc=1&smid=A1RQOO67LVAPSA
