Zoo Med Digital Combo Thermometer Humidity Gauge

As poikilotherms, reptiles are very dependent on the gradient of temperatures in their enclosure to maintain a healthy metabolism. Being able to maintain the right body temperature is critical for a reptile's energy levels, as well as appetite, immune function, and ability to digest food.

Humidity gradient is also very important in a reptile enclosure. Some reptiles require higher humidity levels, while others need a drier environment in order to stay healthy, but with access to a humid hideout. Appropriate humidity levels are essential to preventing respiratory infections and keeping your reptile well hydrated.

The Zoo Med Digital Combo Thermometer Humidity Gauge is an essential tool for monitoring both temperatures and humidity in your reptile's enclosure. The temperature probe is completely waterproof, and can be submerged in water, making this gauge appropriate for use in semi-aquatic as well as terrestrial setups!

Battery included.

How to Use:

Place the temperature probe on the basking surface and the humidity probe in the middle of the enclosure. Place the digital display outside the enclosure in a spot that is easy to see and read at a glance.

Press the power button to turn on and choose Fahrenheit or Celsius mode as desired with the switch on the back. To turn the device off, press and hold the power button for 5 seconds.

Dubia.com recommends using two Zoo Med Digital Combo Thermometer Humidity Gauges per enclosure, with both probes on each end of the enclosure to more accurately read the setup's temperature and humidity gradients.
