Different reptiles need different amounts of heat in order to be healthy — for example, what is perfect temperature for a bearded dragon is much too hot for a crested gecko. So it's very important to monitor the temperatures present in your reptile's enclosure with a thermometer.

The Zoo Med High Range Reptile Thermometer is a liquid crystal thermometer that can be used with terrariums or aquariums to measure local air or water temperature. This device requires no batteries to operate and shows temperatures between 70° to 105° F with easy to read crystal coloring.

This device is not suitable for measuring basking temperature. If you need a thermometer for monitoring basking temperature in your reptile's enclosure, we recommend a digital probe thermometer or infrared thermometer.
