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 Precision Analog Thermometer monitors local air temperature 20° to 120°F, with a convenient Velcro backing for easy installation on the wall of your terrarium.

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.
